THE "6Es + EDUCATION"/
The YES Campaign recognizes that increased individual capacity improves the livelihoods of youth. In order to classify its innovative education and job skills training programs, YES has adopted the existing “6 Es + Education” framework, designed by the UN Education, Sciences, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and YEN.

Employability: To ensure access to appropriate skills training followed by adequate support, regardless of youth location and background. Programs must teach marketable skills and promote self-esteem
Employment Creation: To adopt policies that will encourage economic growth and promote institutional structures that promote scaleability of microenterprises Equity: To provide equal opportunities for youth to realize their full potential, particularly among marginalized groups in society
Entrepreneurship: To engender the creativity of young entrepreneurs, who see social and economic opportunities in areas where others only see problems
Environmental Sustainability: To seek sustainable employment without further damaging the environment
Empowerment: To bring the unprecedented opportunities of the ICT revolution to under-represented groups in society with a focus on marketing, connectivity, and content
Education: To provide informal education and skills training to stigmatized members of society
