For 30 years, our sole focus has been to help young people succeed. Together with partners around the world, we\u2019ve invested in ensuring that youth develop the leadership, technical, and life skills to earn a livelihood. Whether it\u2019s landing a first job, growing a business, or driving social change, every young person deserves the opportunity to realize his or her full potential. Rooted in the belief of youth as problem-solvers, change-makers, and leaders, our initiatives are catalysts for change. For more information please consult\u00a0www.iyfnet.org<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In South Africa, IYF partners to strengthen education and training systems including public TVET colleges and employer-led learnerships for unemployed youth so that they better equip young people to access and expand economic opportunity. We work with national government and TVET leaders to align courses with industry needs; we equip employers to deliver more impactful life skills training within their learnerships; and we create mutually beneficial partnerships between industry and education systems that improve young people\u2019s lives while also delivering measurable business benefits.<\/p>\n

IYF\u2019s work in South Africa is always exciting, ever-evolving, and informed by the needs of key stakeholders: the Department of Higher Education & Training (DHET), national industry groups, individual employers, and young people. It is not without challenges, but the payoff is worth it. Our programming is supported by a growing number of government, corporate, and foundation donors, including the UK Government\u2019s Skills for Prosperity Programme, U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Embassy of Ireland, Michael & Susan Dell Foundation, De Beers, and PepsiCo Foundation.<\/p>\n
