Putting the youth in the
fast track to retail careers
We’re breaking down barriers with our leading retail skills programs
Youth have the highest unemployment of any age group in South Africa: 66% of 15-24 year olds are jobless*.
Our JumpStart program is taking urgent action, equipping unemployed youth with the most sought-after manufacturing and retail skills to help unlock career potential.
The youth of South Africa are resilient and full of potential, inspiring us to do all we can to build a better future for our nation.
