About

We support youth employment by bridging education and the private sector in agribusiness. Through tailored training, curriculum development, and private sector cooperation, we ensure that young professionals gain market-relevant skills and access to job opportunities.

We work with public sector institutions, higher education, and businesses in the Netherlands and partner countries to improve TVET- and higher education programs, making them more responsive to labor market needs. Our expertise includes:

  • Curriculum development - aligning with job opportunities in agricultural sectors of dairy, livestock, horticulture, alternative proteins, aquaculture

  • Entrepreneurship training for youth-led businesses and startups

  • Private sector partnerships - mobilizing finance and cost-sharing for internships, apprenticeships, and employment pathways.

Our projects span Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, supporting partners in creating scalable solutions for youth employment in agrifood sectors.
