Youth Mobilization

Current Reality

Arafat, a 17-year-old from Rangpur, dreams of a stable job in a fast-changing economy. Though he excels academically, he feels unprepared for the real world. His school focuses on rote learning, leaving little room to develop key employability skills.

In a career counseling session, Arafat learns that employers increasingly value soft skills like communication, teamwork, adaptability, and leadership—none of which are part of his curriculum. Skills like time management, conflict resolution, and networking are also critical, especially for roles in development and community engagement.

As Bangladesh’s economy evolves with the Fourth Industrial Revolution, young people like Arafat need support to build both technical and soft skills. Bridging this gap between education and employment is essential to help them thrive and contribute to the nation’s growth.

Our Solution

Teach For Bangladesh is actively engaging with universities across the country to equip young people with the employability skills needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving job market. Through our youth mobilization efforts, we are conducting skill-building workshops, leadership development programs, and career readiness sessions that focus on critical soft skills like communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and adaptability. By bridging the gap between education and employment, we are empowering university students with the competencies needed for professional success, whether in the corporate sector, development work, or entrepreneurship. Through mentorship and hands-on learning experiences, we are ensuring that youth like Arafat gain the confidence, leadership skills, and practical knowledge to contribute meaningfully to Bangladesh’s economic and social development.
