Eidos Global, a non-profit organisation that develops educational solutions for companies, organizations, and governments who want to make a social impact, has committed to Decent Jobs for Youth to equip young mothers in Argentina with both testing and automation skills as well as soft skills, crucial for a career in STEM. 

Through its free training programme in testing and automation, “Plan Azurduy”, Eidos Global aims to equip young mothers with the technical and soft skills that are essential to succeed in tech jobs. The programme has an innovative and engaging pedagogy for participants’ active engagement as well as practical tasks that enhance participants’ job-ready skills. Additionally, at the end of the programme, a networking event will be hosted to link participants to companies and support their job search. Their commitment contributes to reducing the gender gap in the digital economy and creating jobs for the future of work.

Eidos Global’s commitment will boost action and impact on Youth Entrepreneurship and Self-employment. Their commitment is supported by various private sector actors, highlighting the effectiveness of multi-stakeholder partnerships in scaling up action and impact on youth employment.  

The Global Initiative on Decent Jobs for Youth and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development

Decent Jobs for Youth was launched in 2016 as a UN system-wide effort, focusing on the youth employment challenge that is central to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It has emerged as a global, multi-stakeholder initiative that brings together governments, social partners, the private sector, youth and civil society organizations, and others. They work together to share knowledge, leverage resources and take action at country and regional level, to support young people in accessing decent work and productive employment worldwide.
