Youth Empowerment

Empowering the next generation of Bangladesh

The Challenge

Unlocking the potential of Bangladesh's youth

With over 60% of Bangladesh's population under 25, we have an unprecedented demographic dividend. However, limited access to quality education, skills training, and employment opportunities prevents many young people from reaching their full potential.

High youth unemployment rates across the country

Limited access to quality vocational training

Gap between education and market needs

Lack of mentorship and leadership opportunities

Digital divide affecting rural youth

"I dreamt of becoming a software developer, but didn't know where to start. Through Next11's training program, I now work at a tech company and support my family. The opportunities are here in Bangladesh - we just need the right guidance and skills."

Rashida, 22, Dhaka
