The Youth Leadership Development Program (YLDP) focuses on upskilling and expanding the knowledge of youth between 18-35 years old through workshops covering African Identity, Career Strategy, Leadership, Soft Skills and Social Entrepreneurship. Similarly, to SLDP, these topics are curated to support mature youth to obtain employable and entrepreneurial skills.

 

Our Career Strategy module concentrates on assisting youth to develop a 5-10 year career strategy under the guidance of experienced Executive Recruiters. Providing them with the tools to create a winning CV and a standout LinkedIn profile to attract one's dream job. As well as building the soft skills that employers look for. The YLDP recently expanded to include workshops on Youth Advocacy working with the UNICEF Southern Africa’s Advocacy Guide.


Upon completion of the YLDP sessions, youth are expected to complete a six to 12 months volunteer or internship program with local organisations in their communities. This allows our youth to practically implement the skills learnt from our YLDP sessions.
