About Project
Equalize The Future project, conducted in partnership with UNICEF and Habitat Association, aims to improve the level of communication technologies knowledge, entrepreneurial capacity, and employability of Turkish and Refugee youth between the ages 15-24 living in Turkey by increasing digital skills.
In 2021 and 2022, with free trainings to be provided in two main categories, “Digital Skills Development Program” and “Entrepreneurship Support Program”, the training program aims to support youth from 81 cities in digital technologies, entrepreneurship, and employability topics.
Since the development of digital skills is one of the biggest milestones in the entrepreneurship or employment process, it is assumed that individuals who develop their digital competencies in the digitalizing world will have more opportunities to create a livelihood for themselves.
