"Uniqlo Philippines, in partnership with Plan International Pilipinas, implemented the Youth Rise program to provide youth, particularly young women, with access to skills development, employability support and entrepreneurship opportunities."

As a starting point, the program will be initially implemented in Valenzuela and Manila.

Seco said the community in Valenzuela was chosen as a partner community due to the needs of youth in the area.

“Valenzuela is part of another area where there [are] a lot of vulnerable families, young people. At base rin sa pag-aaral natin, maraming mga members ng youth ang nangangailangan ng trabaho. They also have to pick up that kind of skill,” the program director said."
