Gavin David White
\nExternal Relations Officer
\nDuty Station: Mafraq, Jordan<\/h3>\n

I’m addressing the challenge of establishing new strategic partnerships that respond to the evolved vocational learning needs of Syrian refugee and Jordanian youth.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The urban nature of Syrian refugees, and the prolonged nature of displacement, necessitates a strategic partnership approach to respond to needs and expectations that go beyond the scope of services provided by UNHCR, and its traditional humanitarian partners.<\/p>\n

In Jordan, there are limited opportunities available for youth who wish to access learning and skills training with a roadmap to employment, despite a high demand for such programmes; whether for recent school graduates or whose university studies were interrupted due to conflict.<\/p>\n

The development of new UNHCR partnerships aim to provide a basis to establish scalable and sustainable programmes that provide opportunities for Syrian\u00a0youth to be engaged and productive, while providing long-term added value to the host population to compete within an evolving labour market.<\/p>\n

I want to find a solution to this challenge to support refugee youth in countries of first displacement, inform their future life-choices, and contribute to a sustainable return and reconstruction process in Syria in the future.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
