Lacks the can-do / go-get attitude

Unemployed
Lacks problem-solving skills (but dont think they have this lack)

Young

Professional

Has a degree/diploma so what?

No/irrelevant experience

Low Salary
Would pay to get Job

Cant find talent

Spend too much on training and losing employees to competitors (employee poking)

Employers
Are ready to pay more to find the right talent

Have a problem with the educational system

Dont want to take the risk to employ un-experienced young

Partner Organizations

Curriculum relevancy

Lack of trustworthy trainers & sponsors Not the right partners no interest!

Trainers not from the business/world Are the employees that graduated successful?
No buy-in

Not driven by meritocracy Will try/want to impose their rules

Not willing to put sufficient time? Or until the end? No idea where they want to go in life

Employers

Participants

Topic: Upgrade Yourself!

Steps / Planning / Execution

Extern Project-Customer / Subcontractor Technology / Budget / Planning

Intern Team / Resources

Milestone

Program participants - keep their interest through small successes/progress achievements (any will be left till the end?) Employers to wait till the end of the program to hire partipants (will they?)

Appealing to young people interactive web/mobile application to track progress in the program (high cost?) Build success stories (how many are enough?) Ensure cash flow for initial runs of the program (not enough funds?)

Maintain training standards / quality (trainings/courses could be considered as unprofessional?)

Project-End

Employers to hire from the program participants that finished (no hire made?) Employers to "donate" 1 salary back into the program for each of the hires made (no agreement?)

Manage demand/supply logistics and growth targets (too fast?, too slow?)

Upgrade Yourself

Where are the Crash-Potentials?

Candidates buy-in (critical mass?) Employers buy-in (critical mass?) Sponsorship involved (?) Technical (hard skills) trainers from employers (unavailable?)

The message promoted / the pitch Program structure (contents, length) Logistics for doing the trainings/courses (online limitations?, physical costs?) Choose industries targeted - i.e. start with IT programming

Project-Start

Gather the critical project team: soft skills trainer, organizer/coordinator, profiling expert, etc. (not the right person/right time?)
