Young people need more than access to opportunities. They need the skills and support to seize them.
MTN Foundation recently brought together ecosystem partners, training providers and programme participants at the Afrika Tikkun x MTN Skills Academy Hub in Diepsloot for a stakeholder engagement under the Digital Skills for Digital Jobs programme.
With youth unemployment remaining one of South Africa's most pressing challenges, the engagement provided an opportunity to hear directly from young people in the programme and explore how digital skills development can contribute to improved employment outcomes.
Addressing youth unemployment requires collaboration. By working together, we can help ensure that young people are equipped with relevant skills and better positioned to access opportunities in the digital economy.
