Impact
High youth unemployment rates globally are largely due to a lack of job opportunities and barriers to entering the labour market, such as limited work experience and poor education.
Sustained unemployment can have long-lasting, negative effects in terms of career paths and future earnings, in addition to increasing the potential for social unrest.
Sparkfire Marketing aims to address this crisis by providing young adults with access to training, mentorship and employment in marketing and creative services, so they can increase their earning capacity and improve their lives.
