In response to the long-term need faced by marginalized youth and caregivers, we launched specialized employment offices named “Futures”. Futures Offices are a comprehensive hub for employment support, targeting youth and adults across socio-economic levels.

How does it work?

Futures Offices provide support through different avenues

Career counseling

Futures specialized staff is available to guide youth and caretakers in making education and career decisions and to provide educational and professional options.

Soft skills training

Created in response to employers’ high demand for soft skills, the job readiness training (job interview, workplace behavior, personal development, etc.) improve employees’ employability and job retention.

Job placement

Futures staff support clients in finding a job based on the client’s needs, interests and skills. Futures offices have developed privileged relationships with over 400 international and local companies to facilitate placement and ensure secure and dignified placements.

Self-employment

Clients interested in setting up or expanding a micro-enterprise can participate in a short technical training on entrepreneurship. A Futures staff is dedicated to each client to support the entire process of setting up and running the business.

Library

Visitors have access to computers to work on their CV and/or cover letter with the support of a Futures staff. Clients can also access internet to conduct independent job search.

Referral to social support

Clients facing psycho‐social barriers in obtaining stable work are referred to FI and partners’ wide range of holistic social services and have access to a personal social worker.

Referral to professional trainings

Futures provide support in finding apprenticeships, internships and vocational training programs with FI and its partners, civil society and private companies.
