• PROSPECTS Jordan helped develop a  mobile application for youth in refugee and host communities to get career advice. The app, called My Future Career Path, allowed young players to navigate ten different games while helping them discover their abilities and interests in different Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) career pathways.
• In Uganda, youth representatives were included in the District Employment Services Forums, which helped  the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development to understand the specific needs and expectations of young job-seekers and facilitated communication about job vacancies.
• In Ethiopia, Employment Service Facilitation Centres (ESFCs) were established with the Bureau of Youth and Sport. Consultations with the Bureau and young people aligned the centres to the expectations of young jobseekers.
• TVET and educational institutions engaged student networks. In Jordan, the career guidance offices of the Ministry of Education were spaces used by both refugee and host community students. In Kenya, a decree required that all institutions of higher education and training incorporate career guidance units, generating demand for career guidance. In Iraq, partnerships with the University of Mosul and University of Dohuk strengthened their career guidance functions and reached a diverse segment of the student population, including internally displaced persons (IDP), refugee and host community students. The ILO training manuals,  ‘How to Choose My Future Profession?’ and ‘How to Organize My Job Search?’ were suitable for students and recent graduates.
