Learning brief
March 10th, 2025
This policy brief distils the key learnings and policy recommendations that emerged from an assessment of the Presidential Youth Employment Intervention’s (PYEI’s) demand-led skilling workstreams model. Demand-led skilling workstreams are coordination mechanisms for actors in growth sectors. These workstreams improve the understanding of skills gaps and improve the design of interventions addressing these gaps. By examining the successes and challenges of implementing this model in growth sectors, this brief will highlight valuable insights for stakeholders including policymakers, workstream leads, implementing partners, skilling organisations and industry leaders on optimising the demand-led skilling model.
