UN World Youth Report Series: Responses from Asian Lutheran youth(4/4)

How churches could be more relevant to youths in overcoming challenges in the job markets. Here are some suggestions given by our Youth Liaisons:

  • Help communicating with members who are employers and young people who could possibly fill in the job vacancies.
  • facilitate church members to fill in their corresponding professions or skills they possess, so when there is someone know a job suitable for another, they could simply tell communicate among themselves.
  • Church could even set up a database to facilitate the above two suggestions.
  • Church could open Youth Centers for teenagers (to aviod them joining unhealthy activities while unemployed).
  • Pastors/social workers could work more closely with young people and accompany them to overcome the challenges in job searching.
  • Set up small group or praying group for youth who are at the time of job searching, ie. graduation, in order to create a support group so that one will not feel lonely.
