Africa Foundation is committed to sustainable development by focusing on projects within the areas of Education, Healthcare & Clean Water, Environment & Conservation, Small Business Development and Youth Empowerment. Within the Youth Empowerment programme there will be opportunities for unemployed youth to be offered placements.
The experience opportunity is a joint programme of Africa Foundation, andBeyond, Nedbank, Yes4Youth and the communities where Africa Foundation operates. The main aim of the programme is to empower unemployed youth by offering them a first chance at a quality, paid work experience for the period of 12 months.
The work environment is project and programme oriented, which gives the individual a chance to develop their professional skills. Candidates will be assigned to a supervisor who will manage the candidate in several key business areas. We are looking for self-motivated team individuals who are passionate about environmental issues and community empowerment.
