We will definitely be continuing the Access to Decent Work for Youth programme independently in 2025 to recruit more young workers, as we have seen its benefits not only to our factory but also to the young workers themselves.
I want to become a supervisor one day in this factory. Therefore, I plan to stay with the factory and continue to learn new skills to prepare better for my career path.

Through this project, I think not only young workers got the opportunity to improve, but the company and our staffs who are involved in implementing or monitoring the project also learn and grow along the way.

-A male young worker at Scansia in Vietnam who took part in a youth development programme
I attended the young worker development programme in September, which made me rethink my future development. I chose a job close to home this year because of COVID-19. I found that there are also learning and development opportunities here after I joined KVE. I also applied to participate in job skill training outside my current position. My plan is to learn the skill set of the entire production line to see if I have the opportunity to work in technical positions or as a manager in the future. (Date: 2020)
-Mr. Wei, a young worker at KVE factory in Sichuan, China
After a period of training, young workers are now proving good productivity. They are young and energetic, and quick learning, especially when working with data, computers and languages, and we saw that they were happy working on these jobs.
-An HR manager in Vietnam whose factory took part in a youth development programme in 2019
We started our juvenile worker recruitment programme in 2018 but besides the policy, we did not know how to turn it into actions and how to correctly recruit, develop and support juvenile workers. Now we are running a systematic way of supporting a young worker workforce at our factory.
