According to the International Labor Organization (ILO), only 20% of people worldwide currently have a NEET status (Not in education, employment or training).

Solve Education! In collaboration with Aflatoun International has launched the Employability module to prepare youth globally to enter the workforce. This report gives an overview of the programme and the progress we have made in 2021.
