ALX and the National Youth Development Agency are partnering on fostering more entrepreneurial skills for unemployed youth.
The pair plan to provide digital and entrepreneurial skills necessary to drive economic growth locally.
“The glaring figures within South Africa’s youth unemployment challenge underscore the urgent need for innovative and alternative solutions to empower young South Africans with the skills and opportunities required to succeed in today’s digital economy,” they added. “One of the collaboration’s strategic goals is to educate young people about the myriad opportunities within the digital economy and demonstrate how ALX’s programmes can propel and future-proof their careers. By focusing on recruitment and outreach, the partnership will increase the number of South African youth enrolling in these tech training courses, expanding their career prospects and contributing to national economic growth,” they continued.
