The future success of communities and economies relies on the next generation having the right skills, but one of the biggest challenges is equipping them with the right ones to enable them to fulfil their potential. We have designed programmes and interventions that will positively impact participants’ future academic and career paths.
In today’s fast changing, global economy, educators and employees alike recognise that traditional education often falls short of providing young people with the basic life skills they need to succeed – in school, their communities and future work places.
Greater investment in such programs will help narrow the growing gap between the supply of and demand for skilled workers, while helping to bridge the digital divide between developed and underdeveloped areas, municipalities and provinces of our country. Organisations, government departments and municipalities that are conscious of the needs of the country that are aligned to NDP, youth development and Social Corporate responsibility will benefit their organisations, the community and their employees.
We are expecting our life skills and Entrepreneurship Development programme to positively impact participants’ future academic, entrepreneurial and career paths. We have seen a greater of YLED participants achieve academic and personal success over the past decade and are committed to the journey of reaching and making a difference in the lives of more young people across the country and region
To-date more than 15 000 learners from a number of high schools in Gauteng, Limpopo, Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal have benefited from YLED efforts
