Into Employment® prepares young people to fill the needs of local job markets. Its scholarships provide access to college, technical training, job readiness and life skills. Here, participants transform aspirations into results.
Although most economies haven’t recovered fully from the pandemic, Into Employment’s impact on their communities has endured: Many young people are well-positioned for jobs as the work becomes available. This year we aim to expand the program and provide more opportunities for those who seek them.
Children International staff member Teresa Lopez helps Honduran youth prepare for their Into Employment graduation ceremony.
In Honduras, youth participate in the sewing operator vocational program.
Anywhere we support children, you’ll find an Into Employment program. That means 67 local community centers in 10 countries. Our in-country teams develop sustainable, local programming.
Invest and your impact directly supports our outreach teams — the career counselors, skill trainers, facilities and business partners — who make it all work. We coordinate with more than 100 employers, all within those communities, to deliver the insight, education, skills and opportunities most needed in each market.
