Background information
Over the past decade, youth employment has gained significant prominence on the national and global development agendas. Approximately three million young Ethiopians enter the labour force every year. Ensuring productive employment opportunities both in rural and urban areas is becoming a big challenge. Hence, a growing number of Ethiopians look for job opportunities in the capital and other urban areas or migrate abroad. The exact number of Ethiopians who have migrated abroad is unknown due to the nature of migration (irregular migration) and the absence of a centralized registration system. However, some evidence shows that the number of irregular migrants to the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states, Europe and South Africa are increasing.
Within this context, ILO conducted a comprehensive Socio-Economic Assessment (SEA) and a mapping of potential partners and service providers in 12 selected “Woredas” within four Regional States: Tigray; Amhara, Oromia, and Southern Nations, Nationalities, and People’s Region (SNNP) and three sub cities in Addis Ababa city administration. As per the findings of the SEA, there is very limited intervention by MOLSA and its regional, zonal and woreda counter parts as well as by TVET institutions in the delivery of career guidance and counseling services for recent University and TVET graduate men and women. During the field visits made to the project intervention areas, the ILO team observed that there is no standardized career guidance and counselling tool kit used either by TVET institutions or any government agency engaged with youth employment. Hence, most University and TVET graduate men and women are unable to get appropriate and timely information related to jobs due to the limited access to career education and guidance, information and counseling services.
