Young South Africa Leading The Future.

During a recent survey of which the results were published in News24 on 8 September 2022, only 25% of South African youth feel positive about the future. The youth of South Africa is currently under a lot of pressure and uncertainty in our economy, energy, climate change and others, are leaving our youth feeling stressed out and unsure about the future.

With this webinar we want to discuss various prominent aspects and issues related to the future world of work to come up with workable answers and solutions the youth is in desperate need of.
