The present article, whose theme is the opportunity to instigate the skills of young people in the labor market through integrated training, consists of showing that the Angolan public sector do not have appropriate instruments to raise the skills of its employees, making it possible to take advantage from the labor market opportunities and consider that training is a cost. Therefore, the objective of the research is to provide scientific knowledge in the academic-scientific community with a focus on business managers in general on the need for training actions that combine theory and practice for the improvement of young people’s skills in the world of work, taking into account their employability and the acquisition of contributory behaviors that allow the reduction of dysfunction in the companies. The method used is intervention-research, with data collection techniques such as participatory observation, document analysis and semi-structured interview, opting for the analysis technique using SPSS software with a focus on factorial and frequency analysis. After analysis and discussion of the results, it is proven that the existence of incompetence in carrying out activities justifies the adoption of integrated training to instigate the skills of young people in the labor market, with variability dimensions explaining the dysfunction in the company in 77.2% of the variance with emphasis on the distribution in: cooperation/ teamwork 40.02%, leadership 29.07%, work organization with 14.70% explained variability and finally in the company there is a loss of 45,092 hours of work during the month of February 2023, with emphasis on cooperation/teamwork with 18,044 hours, followed by leadership with 13,106 hours. The objective of the research was achieved, illustrated by the need to adopt integrated training to stimulate young people’s skills, thus obtaining the opportunity for their employability.
