Social impact nonprofit organisation Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator on June 15 took media on a tour of its offices and detailed its work to link the youth with job opportunities in the economy, and to help the youth to progressively gain employment experience and skills along their paths to formal employment. Harambee registers young people who are eager to work on its platform. They can access and use its services free-of-charge and its websites and applications (apps) are data-free, says Harambee chief communications officer Zengeziwe Msimang.
The way young people navigate the world of work is changing and shifting into the digital realm. This is unquestionably true at the global level, but it’s also happening right here in South Africa.
