We’re breaking barriers with our leading retail skills programmes
Youth have the highest unemployment of all age groups in South Africa: 62.1% of youth aged 15 to 24 do not have jobs*. Our JumpStart programme is taking urgent action, equipping unemployed youth with sought-after retail and manufacturing skills to help unlock career potential. South Africa’s youth are resilient and filled with potential – and inspire us to do everything we can to build a better future for our nation.
