ساعد برنامج آفاق الأردن في تطوير تطبيق جوال للشباب في مجتمعات اللاجئين والمجتمعات المضيفة للحصول على المشورة المهنية. وقد أتاح التطبيق، المسمى "مساري المهني المستقبلي"، للاعبين الشباب التنقل عبر عشر ألعاب مختلفة مع مساعدتهم على اكتشاف قدراتهم واهتماماتهم في مسارات وظيفية مختلفة في التعليم والتدريب التقني والمهني (TVET).
في أوغندا، تم إشراك ممثلين عن الشباب في منتديات خدمات التوظيف على مستوى المقاطعات، مما ساعد وزارة النوع الاجتماعي والعمل والتنمية الاجتماعية على فهم الاحتياجات والتوقعات الخاصة بالباحثين عن عمل الشباب وسهل التواصل بشأن فرص العمل الشاغرة.
في إثيوبيا، تم إنشاء مراكز تيسير خدمات التوظيف (ESFCs) بالتعاون مع مكتب الشباب والرياضة. وقد أسفرت المشاورات مع المكتب والشباب عن مواءمة المراكز لتلبية توقعات الباحثين عن عمل الشباب.
أشركت مؤسسات التعليم والتدريب التقني والمهني والمؤسسات التعليمية شبكات الطلاب. في الأردن، كانت مكاتب التوجيه المهني التابعة لوزارة التربية والتعليم مساحات يستخدمها طلاب اللاجئين والمجتمع المضيف على حد سواء. في كينيا، تطلب مرسوم من جميع مؤسسات التعليم والتدريب العالي دمج وحدات التوجيه المهني، مما ولد طلباً على التوجيه المهني. في العراق، عززت الشراكات مع جامعة الموصل وجامعة دهوك وظائف التوجيه المهني لديهما ووصلت إلى شريحة متنوعة من الطلاب، بما في ذلك النازحون داخليًا (IDP)، وطلاب اللاجئين والمجتمع المضيف. وكانت كتيبات التدريب الصادرة عن منظمة العمل الدولية، وهي 'كيف أختار مهنتي المستقبلية؟' و 'كيف أنظم بحثي عن عمل؟'، مناسبة للطلاب والخريجين الجدد.

In Egypt, PROSPECTS trained staff from the Ministry of Youth and Sport (MOYS) as FE trainers, who then supported the roll-out of FE in MOYS youth centres. Similarly, PROSPECTS Iraq worked with FSPs to develop a wider network of enterprise support, encompassing the Ministry of Youth and Sport (MOYS), the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (MOLSA), business associations, chambers of commerce and chambers of industry.

The programme also institutionalized the tool within a youth volunteer organization that was affiliated to the MOYS. Find out more in the Iraq case study.
