Skills Lab is a 3-month training program that helps unemployed young graduates develop soft skills to increase their employability. After the first 3 months, all participants had jobs, and 6 months later 64% still had jobs. The program's success is attributed to individual counseling, a learning community, training tailored for real life, strong company partnerships, and a passionate team. Skills Lab is seeking funding to expand and go online.
