The three-part Market Assessment Toolkit for VT Providers and Youth is a combination of resources, questionnaires and activities to assist VT programs and youth to gather information on market demand and translate it into programming that responds to a dynamic business environment and youth needs. The toolkit offers a roadmap to VT providers, youth participants and other local and international actors. Increased access to information will guide service providers in a demand-driven approach, matching youths’ interests, skills and available resources to market opportunities for employment and self-employment. Many of the tools have multiple purposes and all rely on using a combination of desk research and interviews with key actors.
