Poland & the Baltics
In spite of Poland’s strong economic growth, many find it difficult to secure stable employment and reliable wages. Only 51% of young people under the age of 30 are economically active, with women, people living in rural areas, and people with disabilities especially affected.
NESsT’s investments in Poland focus on social enterprises that connect these potential workers with training and jobs in growth industries like technology, business process outsourcing and health care.
