SKY – Vocational Training for Young People
Helvetas is an independent organization for development based in Switzerland with affiliated organizations in Germany and the United States. It supports poor and disadvantaged women, men and communities in about thirty developing and transition countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe.
Our Foundation supports the project called “SKY: Skills and Knowledge for Youth” to provide vocational training for young people from poor families in the Ethiopian regional state of Amhara. Short courses are given in occupations for which there is high demand, such as hairdresser, tailor, carpenter or car mechanic.”
