The initiative follows the realisation that youth constitute the largest percentage of unemployed people in South Africa. The project supports ICT skills development towards improved employability. “This is the first time that we are rolling out an ICT internship of this magnitude. CDC’s partnership with MICT SETA will see the two organisations working together with NMU and Amandla Obunye to address graduate youth unemployment, as part of the Presidential Youth Unemployment Initiative. The programme also enables the development of robust local ICT skills in support of the National Innovation Roadmap and the National 4IR Strategy.
