Increasing youth unemployment in Colombia, especially within marginalised populations, has been exacerbated by the global Corona pandemic. The Colombian Ministry of Education sees the qualified training of young Colombians as the central solution and identifies the current qualification needs mainly in the two sectors digital economy and tourism – especially the latter has suffered a strong slump due to the pandemic.

Our AF DigiTur project aims to work closely with the relevant Colombian authorities, training institutions, companies and business associations to further develop dual training and qualification opportunities in the two sectors of the digital economy and tourism and thus make a sustainable contribution to reducing youth unemployment.

How do we intend to achieve our goals?
