If I could just say, in terms of being on the ground and trying to ensure employability and not underemployability, I was in the West Bank with the YMCA a couple of years ago, and it had a large vocational training facility. I say “large facility” because it's large in space, but poorly equipped. In Canadian terms, we would say that the equipment was not enough. What amazed us was all the training that did go on and how prepared the youth came out in their various fields. There was some computer training and some mechanical training, etc.
What the school did very clearly was to work with the communities to try to ensure placements for apprenticeships. As we do here, they had that model, and they were very proud to share with us the relatively high rate of employability of their students. Training just isn't enough; we know even in Canada that being underemployed just isn't good enough either.
Thank you.
