The GoTeach partnership between the DHL Group and SOS Children’s Villages is creating real change for young people in a growing number of communities worldwide – thanks to a strong commitment from the DHL Group and its employees.
 

SOS Children’s Villages International and the DHL Group are partnering to empower young people aged 15-25 from across the world to help them build job skills and get ready for employment or entrepreneurship. The partnership was launched under the umbrella of the Group’s ‘GoTeach’ programme in 2011 and has since been expanded to 55+ countries.  

In the GoTeach programme, employees of DHL Group volunteer to mentor young people in their transition to the world of work. They share their own professional and personal experiences and seek to inspire and motivate young people to take their first career steps.

Basing on extensive research and feedback, GoTeach has designed its offer to best support young people in finding full-time employment. The minimum requirement for each participant group is to complete at least three interventions (see table below) in a year. The available interventions are grouped in three areas: “Expose”, “Explore” and “Practice”. With this holistic approach, GoTeach aims to increase the employability prospects of young participants by equipping them with diverse critical skills.
