Help Find Your Life Enrichment Programme with 5 volunteers for finding companies willing to provide job opportunities
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
We need someone who can help connect us to companies who would be willing to employ youth who graduate from our job readiness program. Our youth employment program strives to create employment opportunities for youth by taking them through a 23 day job readiness program that prepares them for excellence. After this, they are referred to job interviews with potential employers. Our approach is to establish a relationship with companies/potential employers so that they inform us whenever they have job vacancies on an ongoing basis and we refer graduates from our job readiness program to them. With the rate of unemployed being so high in our township (Mabopane) – 31%, the prospect of being connected to jobs is what attracts the unemployed to our program and thus finding potential employers is of critical importance to the success of the program. It is also the primary means by which we are contributing to the reduction of unemployment in under-priviledged communities such as this one. We thus really need assistance to secure partnerships with companies, who can use our program to source employees from our pool of trained and highly cultivated graduates.

Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
