Youth unemployment is a pressing global concern, and South Africa bears its weight acutely. In response, Edu Empower SA presents a paradigm-shifting solution in the form of our flagship Youth Empowerment Program (YEP). YEP is more than just a program; it is a groundbreaking initiative crafted to combat youth unemployment while igniting economic growth in South Africa. YEP is a catalyst for change, empowering young individuals to realize their potential as entrepreneurs and leaders in today’s dynamic business landscape.

 YEP participants acquire essential business skills such as business planning, marketing, finance, and sales, empowering them with the knowledge and confidence to embark on entrepreneurial endeavors. Moreover, YEP distinguishes itself by offering real-world experience as brand ambassadors for local businesses, facilitated by strategic partnerships. This hands-on involvement enables participants to gain valuable work experience. Consequently, this dual approach not only fosters the development of practical skills but also prepares participants for future employment opportunities.

YEP represents a transformative journey for unemployed youth, offering them not only invaluable skills, but also income earning opportunities for their efforts. Moreover, YEP empowers participants to become agents of change within their communities while also promoting the growth of small to medium-sized enterprises.

YEP MISSION

At the core of YEP lies our unwavering commitment to empowering the next generation. We understand that unemployment not only stifles individual potential, but also hampers the progress of communities and the nation at large. That’s why we’ve designed YEP to be more than just a job program – it’s a transformative journey towards self-discovery, skill enhancement, and entrepreneurial success.
