About
The goal of USAID Bridges to Employment is to increase and improve employment opportunities for Salvadoran youth living in high-crime municipalities. The USAID Bridges to Employment team will support USAID/El Salvador to link youth – including young women and vulnerable populations such as LGBTI and youth with disabilities – to basic social resources of work, knowledge, security, and social capital in order to foster social inclusion through employment opportunities. The USAID Bridges to Employment project (Puentes) is strengthening Salvadoran workforce development institutions’ ability to provide demand-driven training, and at the same time working with employers to shift perceptions of vulnerable youth, adopt more inclusive hiring practices, and develop innovative transportation and technology solutions that overcome distance and safety barriers.
