This #YouthMonth we are reminded of the challenge of youth unemployment in our country. According to research, the first quarter of 2023 saw the youth unemployment rate increase to 46,5%.
In response to this crisis, we invite you to watch a discussion on youth unemployment and how to combat it by making wise decisions. The discussion, which is proudly powered by LegalWise, isfacilitated by entrepreneur, storyteller and media maven, Zimasa Vabaza who is joined by four other young South African entrepreneurs.
In the spirit of #June16, we are delighted to announce our partnership with Elite CV, aimed at empowering 16 young individuals to kick-start their careers. The 16 winners of our Youth Month competition will each receive a range of invaluable benefits from Elite CV such as a professionally written CV, cover letter, optimised LinkedIn profile, and a comprehensive online job search course. Our ultimate objective is to equip these individuals with the necessary tools to effectively showcase their skills in a highly competitive job market, thereby transforming their potential into career success.
