“It is about finding the right opportunities for young people and giving them a vehicle or a process by which they can get the skills to get good, decent, dignified work. When you give young people those opportunities and find them dignified, safe, decent work, social tension falls rapidly,” said Arkless. Arkless, a former global president of ManpowerGroup, was speaking on the topic ‘Work, dignity and a chance for our young people.’“We need to focus on this because we need to give all of our young people a chance for decent work and dignity in the future,” he added. Arkless revealed that through EFE, they are now placing more than 5,000 young people in jobs. It is an incredible example of how to contribute and reduce tension by giving people meaningful work, especially young people,” Arkless added.
