Invest in youth
Invest in youth
The lack of direction and the pressures of industry to streamline their workforce resulting in rising unemployment coupled with the current global revolution towards automation, is leaving our youth misguided, lost and hopeless. The cost of education and lack of skills training is marginalising youth, limiting their potential and adversely affecting the economic future of South Africa.
While career education cannot alone create employment, it can curb the unnecessary anxiety, confusion and ignite interest in youth when it comes to their futures. Encouraging entrepreneurship, informed decision regarding studies, effectively saving parents the ‘first-year write off’ when at university, wasting university allocations, and reducing the time it takes for young people to find their ideal path in life where they can thrive.

If I were to be granted one wish on this occasion, it would be that all South Africans should rededicate ourselves to turning this into the land of our dreams: a place that is free of hatred and discrimination; a place from which hunger and homelessness have been banished; a safe place for our children to grow into our future leaders.
