Generation Unlimited’s Passport to Earning (P2E) is a global programme that provides young people aged 15-24 with free, quality and certifiable skills that better position them to access advanced skilling and earning opportunities.

This includes a midterm ambition of skilling 8 million young people, including 4 million in digital/AI, and supporting 400,000 youth in earning opportunities by 2027.
