CREATING A MORE PROSPEROUS AND SECURE FUTURE
Accenture and Save the Children share a vision for creating a more prosperous and secure future for young people. Among the 200 million people worldwide actively seeking work, a disproportionate share – 75 million – are youth and young adults under the age of 25. This demographic landscape represents not only a crucial development challenge, but also a tremendous source of human capital and economic opportunity. Our partnership builds programming that strengthens employability and employment outcomes for youth in safe and decent jobs and breaks the intergenerational cycle of poverty.
PREPARING YOUNG PEOPLE FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
Our partnership equips youth with the skills they need to get a job or build a business. Together, our 12-year partnership has equipped nearly 185,000 people through skilling initiatives.
Our newest global grant will focus on investing in a green economy, promoting gender equality and social justice for young people, supporting youth-led advocacy to drive social and environmental change, and leveraging technology for digital skilling.

LEVERAGING TECHNOLOGY FOR DEVELOPMENT
Our partnership is advancing the use of technology to bring solutions to scale. Integrating technology into our program has been critical to successfully addressing the global youth skills gap and societal barriers.
We are building web-based and mobile solutions that connect youth to e-learning modules that build on classroom training; job matching platforms that link youth to employers and available jobs; social media and SMS for behaviour change and skills development; and beneficiary tracking systems to monitor employment and retention.
