Let’s train more youth
Relevant and quality Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) have become more important than ever to address the rampant youth unemployment situation in Africa. We believe that transforming the abundant energy of youths is the best investment in the future.
Young Africa recognises that the youth employment challenge can only be responded to collectively. We invite you to share our vision: to train half a million youth by 2025.
We combine Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) with Life Skills education, entrepreneurship training and talent development in sports and art.
In 2017, UNESCO UNEVOC recognised the Young Africa model as a promising best practice in delivering TVET. It’s biggest advantage: creating self-sustainability for vocational education through the franchise model.
We offer to share our high-impact solution, the integral approach, the franchise model and the mobile training, to organisations working in the area of youth empowerment. Bringing you the chance to replicate our model, our success story could be yours.

What you can replicate:
We integrate TVET with Life Skills education, entrepreneurship training and talent development in sports and arts. Promote employability and responsible citizenship among youth.
A unique model for providers that are looking for solutions to 1) strengthening competence-based learning by combining training and production, 2) growing the financial and operational self-sustainability of their TVET centres and 3) involving local artisans in skilling the next generation.
A dedicated team will set up camps in particular areas for three months to deliver TVET integrated with Life Skills education and entrepreneurship training. Through the mobile training units, we are able to target underserviced and outlying areas.
