✍ Dreams vs. Reality: Bridging the Gap in Youth Employment.     Waking up to a world where every graduate seamlessly lands their dream job – a promise echoed by university programs, is what I wish for. However, the stark reality unfolds quite differently given the current global landscape. Unemployment and underemployment, perceived as issues limited to developing nations, are now palpable even in the developed world.    📣 A Global Challenge: Insights from Graffiland    In September, Graffiland opened three internship positions in marketing and sales, specifically targeting African candidates. Surprisingly, numerous European applicants, including Ph.D. holders, demonstrated a keen interest. This highlighted the universal struggle for meaningful employment, transcending geographical boundaries.    👩🎓 E2PE Framework: Nurturing Future Professionals   Reflecting on this experience, Graffiland expanded her Education to Professional Employment (#E2PE) framework to support youths globally facing employment challenges. Our holistic approach addresses key facets:    - Career counseling and coaching  - Skill development and training  - Work-integrated learning  - Professional branding  - Job placement  - Professional community    💡Empowering Futures with E2PE In our pursuit of a solution rather than a mere treatment for job scarcity, explore our E2PE Framework to enhance your employment prospects. Together, let’s shape a future where opportunities abound for every ambitious youth.

CAN PAID INTERNSHIPS SAVE SOCIAL WORK? “Unfortunately, the consequences of unpaid internships persist long after graduation in the form of overwhelming student debt. In the U.S., the average starting salary for recent MSW graduates is only $47,000. Meanwhile, MSW students graduate with an average of $68,000-$76,000 in student loans, burdening social workers and their families for decades after graduation. Notably, Black and Latino/a/e/x students graduate with significantly more debt than their white counterparts, exacerbating racial disparities and perpetuating inequality within our workforce.” P4P Alumni Advisors Pilar O. B., and Elana Metz, MSW/MPH, share their thoughts in a blog for the 2023 #SSWWeek on the Global Social Service Workforce Alliance's website.

Dropping out of school due to poverty is a widespread problem in Mexico. COVID-19 has made it worse. As one Mexican high school student said, “If I connect to classes I don’t work, and if I don’t work, at home we don’t eat”. Yet there is little help for teenagers to develop their employability, with only 3% of Mexican social media posts mentioning initiatives such as internships or skills training programs.
