The objective of this guide is to provide a reference framework for facilitators to support them in designing and delivering in-person or virtual training sessions for young people who are entering the labour market or already working, particularly forcibly displaced youth and their host communities, to raise their awareness regarding their rights to access decent work, their social protection entitlements and fair conditions of work. While many insights are relevant to youth more generally, there is an emphasis on the specific considerations for forcibly displaced youth.
Facilitators can be representatives of trade unions; relevant government bodies in charge of employment promotion; employers’ organizations; peer young workers in companies that provide training; education and training institutions; youth-led and other civil society organizations, including youth leaders and peers from host communities.
Facilitators should be familiar with the basic workplace rights applicable in the country and be willing to acquire additional information about labour and social security laws, and to ensure that the information used in the learning sessions is up to date. They need to be creative and have good facilitation and training skills. This is particularly important when tailoring the learning resources to the needs of young participants.
