Priority sectors: sectors where opportunities exist for young people now.

We too often think of resilience as something that individuals have, but rarely stop to consider resilience in relation to organisations and the sectors in which they operate, who must also be able to consistently adapt and change, to bounce back from adversity to survive hardship and crisis.

Although we know of many organisations that did not survive the pandemic, analysis by Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator reveals that very few sectors, if any, have been able to return to pre-pandemic levels of employment, and certainly not to levels before the 2008 financial crisis.
