Summary
More than 3,000 Filipinos aged 18 to 24 are targeted over three years under Youth Rise, a new Uniqlo Philippines and Plan International Pilipinas program focused on marginalized youth, especially young women.
The initiative offers skills training, employability support and entrepreneurship pathways, with participants assessed to match their interests to available market demand.
Manila and Valenzuela are the initial rollout sites, with Valenzuela chosen for its concentration of vulnerable families and young people needing jobs and practical skills.
Youth Rise is Uniqlo Philippines' first local project under its global PEACE FOR ALL charity T-shirt initiative, and the partners said they could expand it with support from agencies including TESDA and the DTI.
