    Ways to start

    Start from the ideas and materials you already have

    • 01

      Start from an idea

      Describe the problem you want to solve and the change you hope to see, in your own words. As you answer the questions, your project takes concrete shape.

    • 02

      Start from an existing document

      Upload a project plan or report, and Impact Builder summarizes it for you, then fills in the gaps through conversation.

    • 03

      Start at the part you need

      Write your own problem definition to start at Part 2, or load a conversation that finished an earlier part to continue with Part 2 or Part 3.

    1. You

      What kind of hands-on practice would help digital skills training lead to real jobs?

    2. Impact Builder

      What kinds of jobs are the participating young people preparing for?

    3. You

      Office and operations roles at local companies. Many of them lack hands-on work experience.

    4. Impact Builder

      How about turning real company tasks into practice assignments? Participants organize data, write a report, and revise it based on feedback from people working in the field.

    Part 1: Problem Analysis

    Youth Digital Jobs

    Core Problem

    How can digital skills training lead to work opportunities?

    Participants learn hands-on digital work such as research, document writing, and data organization, then take on company assignments and paid work experience. The project also tracks job placement and what changes after participants are hired.

    Causes

    • Lack of training and hands-on experience in using digital tools for real work
    • Limited hiring information and work experience opportunities at local companies

    Participants

    Target Group
    Local young people preparing for employment
    Implementing Organization
    Local youth support organization
