It will enhance the chances of employability as well as promote self-employment and entrepreneurship among them. Liberia's post conflict environment has led to several socioeconomic situations and problems in Liberian including high unemployment. After training, the need to start their own business.
Youth unemployment in Liberia is as high as 85% according to the United Nations. About 35% of males and 42% of females in youth category are detached from the job market in Liberia due to the lack of proper skills and training. These scaring statistics must provoke national leaders and partners to focus more on finding lasting remedy to youth issues.
