YEN Marketplace’s What’s Working Competition in Youth Employment

Youth Employment Network (YEN) and Making Cents International have partnered up to create the ‘What’s Working?’ Competition to find out what strategies and approaches are working and share them among the youth employment community.

The What’s Working? Competition highlights success stories. Organizations who have had positive results from their youth employment projects can submit a Smart Note about their project, including why they think it worked and what lessons they learned. The winners are selected through online voting, comments, and a judges’ panel. The winning projects will have their Smart Note published on the website and receive a monetary award of up to USD 800.

For the Fall 2012 round of competition, the overarching theme is Spotlight on Technology. The organizers would like to draw out some lessons on how technology can be used effectively in a youth employment project or programme. The competition is not limited to projects in the tech sector, rather, it wants to know about how organizations in various sectors are leveraging technology to their benefit.

Deadline: 9 November 2012.
