Youth Ideas Development Programme The Box Shop Programme Youth Employability and Entrepreneurship Program Retailer Development Programme Youth And Women Business In Technology

The aim of our youth development programmes is to build a culture of creative and innovative thinking by challenging our beneficiaries to turn their challenges into opportunities to earn them an income. We do this through technical and skills development, entrepreneurship skills and business pitch training. We top all of these up with grant-funding which is subsequently followed by mentorship and coaching. We provide market-linkage opportunities to help those who are entrepreneurial to start earning a living whilst also creating opportunities for permanent employment through internship placements.
