MUVA prepares and facilitates the access of young people, in a situation of socio-economic vulnerability, to their first internship and/or employment opportunities. Recent research shows that one of the greatest barriers to entering the labor market is the lack of professional experience. We therefore work to reduce the social, technical and economic barriers that limit access to decent work opportunities. We develop the personal skills of young people, implement or partner with them to provide technical training and facilitate access to internship and/or employment opportunities in the private sector. Our portfolio of projects in this area is defined according to the profile of the young people, the training time required, as well as the type of profession the participants will be prepared for. See below some MUVA projects for labor insertion in the private sector.
