The "Youth Career and Development Center” established within the frames of the project is located at the Baku SOS Children’s Village.

The project, which is expected to last for 8 months period, is aimed at expanding employment opportunities for teenagers living in the SOS Children’s Villages. The beneficiaries of the project are mainly the children and youngsters deprived of parental care, as well as those from low-income families. Relevant repair works have been carried out in the center in order to make it ready for operation. In March 2016, material and technical base of the center has been upgraded, and the necessary office furniture and computer equipment were purchased. 

Youth employment web section has been created within the website of the "SOS Children’s Villages Azerbaijan National Association” NGO. This page will contain detailed information about the project and its partners, the relevant legislation and useful database, the CV database of the project beneficiaries and useful links to find job opportunities.

"We have been cooperating with the "SOS Children’s Villages – Azerbaijan National Association” NGO in the field of corporate social responsibility for many years now. Support for the projects involving the children, teenagers and young people with special needs is one of the main priorities of our CSR program. We are also negotiating with our partners to discuss employment opportunities for the youth trained at the Center”, says Mr. Fedja Hadzic, Chief Marketing and Sales Officer of Bakcell.
