Spread the news

First Consult announced a partnership with Ethiopian Investment Commission yesterday to implement the digitization of the labour supply and matching database for factories within seven industrial parks in Ethiopia. This partnership between First Consult and the Ethiopian Commission is an initiative supported by the Mastercard Foundation’s Young Africa Works in Ethiopia strategy and the Ethiopian Investment Commission (EIC), will lead to a series of job creation and employment interventions across several industrial parks (IPs) throughout the country.

The seven Industrial Parks which are contributing in the utilization of the IP labour database include Adama IP, Debre Berhan IP, Dire Dawa IP, Bahir Dar IP, Hawassa IP, Mekelle IP, and Kombolcha IP. Their partnership has initiated a programme called BRIDGES which is a five-year initiative, will support the creation of close to 600,000 jobs for young people (80% women) and 15,000 micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Furthermore, the BRIDGES Programme will train 300,000 unemployed young people through industrial park job creation initiatives, and market linkage between industrial parks and MSMEs.
