Youth Development
South Africa is faced with the complex challenge of poor economic participation of young people, which inhibits the country’s economic development and imposes a larger burden on the state to provide social assistance. The overall unemployment rate in the country stands at 25% and rises to about 36% if discouraged workers are included in the calculation.
A salient feature of this poor economic participation is high persistent youth unemployment, which means that young people are not acquiring the skills and work experience they need to assist in driving the economy forward. The tough economy can only get better through employment and entrepreneurship which is why our objectives are to focus on guiding and growing the youth. Our focus areas:
•
To promote and support youth enterprise development and entrepreneurship in South Africa through government support programs
•
Training and skills development
•
Business plans for bankable funding
•
Mentoring and coaching youth
•
Incubating youth businesses for long term guidance and support
