Harambee Youth Employment Accelerators is a free service that helps young South Africans overcome many of the difficulties they face in finding and keeping their first job.

Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator

Do you know any youth or are you currently a youth between the ages of 18 and 34 who have a matric certificate and are unemployed?

Our assessments and training help you get and keep a real job at a real company.

We help young people with a matric or equivalent qualification who have been looking for a permanent full-time job, but haven’t been able to find one.

We also help young people who have a university degree or other tertiary qualifications but haven’t been able to find a job.

Most people find their jobs through a social network – school or university, friends, family or previous work experience.

For people who don’t have these social networks, networks that link to jobs, finding a job is difficult.

Harambee works to create this kind of social network for young work-seekers.

Research by the Development Bank of South Africa shows that a young South African who can get and keep a first job for at least 12 months has an 85% chance of being employed for the rest of their lives.

Harambee is calling upon all unemployed young people!!!!

To qualify you need to:

• 18 to 34 years (opportunities available for those over 29 are limited)

CAREERS

Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator is a not-for-profit social enterprise building African solutions for the global challenge of youth unemployment. We work in South Africa and Rwanda with many partners who are committed to results that can work at scale – including government, the private sector, civil society, and over 1.5 million youth.

Harambee is an anchor partner in a breakthrough platform called
SA Youth. It is part of the Presidential Youth Employment Intervention – a co-ordinated strategic national plan that sets out priority actions to address the youth unemployment challenge in South Africa. sayouth.mobi was launched by President Ramaphosa on Youth Day 2021 and it connects young people to opportunities at scale.

SA Youth brings together many partners to create a single national network to allow young people to access a wide selection of earning and learning opportunities, and for opportunity holders to access young engaged work-seekers – for free!

Our staff complement of almost 500 motivated people continue to work both on-site and remotely in a fluid and vibrant environment to tackle the challenges of a country where over 50% of young people are unemployed.
