About Us
Welcome Message from Carol Jenkins
World Learning believes that the best hope for peace, justice, and sustainability lies in bringing people together. Through cultural immersion, experiential learning, and information sharing, our programs equip others to collaboratively address the most pressing issues of our time.
Throughout my years at World Learning, I have had the fortunate opportunity to meet with many of our participants, partners, and alumni—a global network of learners. Our programs help them understand other cultures, master new skills, and cultivate networks. Our teaching and training methodologies empower them to find locally relevant, sustainable, and implementable solutions. Our approaches emphasize flexibility and adaptability that help them tackle real-world problems.
They, in turn, make extraordinary changes in their lives and communities.
Please join us—and those we work with and serve around the world—in our pursuit to create a brighter and better future for all.

Program Description
Uzbekistan Youth Employment Skills Activity will equip youth in Grades 8-11 with the necessary skills to enter Uzbekistan's economy as competent employees or entrepreneurs.
The activity targets in-school and afterschool students to ensure a successful school-to-work transition. World Learning will lead the implementation of two objectives using the WorkLinks approach to design and deliver curriculum, teacher and mentor trainings, and the corresponding assessments.
Program Goals
WorkLinks strengthens the connection of education institutions to community life in three stages:
- Collaboratively analyzing current institutional practices in career preparation and work linkages.
- Designing institutional solutions like embedded career centers and private sector advisory boards.
- Guiding implementation until new structures and services are sustainably established.
