Ningbo Aixue Education Information Consulting Co. is a youth-led start-up working on developing  after-school activities on quality education in China, headquartered in Ningbo. The organization has pledged a commitment to Decent Jobs for Youth on implementing social practice education programs, developing knowledge products, and creating job opportunities for youth in China. 

Within three years, this commitment aims to benefit 500 young people in finding satisfactory occupations. This initiative will seek graduates to create social practice programs based on SDG indicators. This provides direct employment opportunities for young people and entails organized field trips to carry out social practice education projects, universities to learn about the expectations of the youth, businesses to gain the knowledge of their demands for employability, and local governments to broaden the impact of this initiative.

In collaboration with private sectors, this program establishes bases for social practice education, with the goal of conducting seasonal theme activities as well as exploring sustainable models of vocational training and education to help youth improve their employability. And with public sectors, Ningbo Aixue Education Information Consulting Co. cooperates with the National Palace Museum in Beijing to offer social practice education workshops on tourism, with an emphasis on sustainable culture, ecology, and business.

Their commitment will boost action and impact on the thematic area of Green Jobs for youth, Youth in the rural economy and Youth entrepreneurship and self-employment to realize the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

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.
