Wanneer Suid-Afrika Jeugdag komende Maandag op 16 Junie herdenk, dink ons nie net terug aan die dapper gees van die 1976-geslag nie, maar ook aan die belofte en potensiaal van vandag se jeug. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jeugdag is ‘n geleentheid om hulde te bring aan die opofferings van die verlede en om ons weer te verbind tot die bou van ‘n regverdige en inklusiewe toekoms vir die volgende geslag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Een plek waar hierdie toekoms aktief gevorm word, is die Atlantis- spesiale ekonomiese sone (Asez), waar die strewe na nywerheids- en omgewingsvernuwing met ‘n sterk toewyding aan jeugontwikkeling gepaard gaan. Indrukwekkend genoeg bestaan 50% van Asez se personeel uit jongmense, en onder hulle is vyf interns \u2014 jong individue wat kritieke werkservaring opdoen in ‘n sektor wat vol groeipotensiaal is.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tussen 12 September 2023 en 30 April 2024 het ons ‘n impakvolle Entrepreneursontwikkelingsprogram (EDP) in vennootskap met die Toerisme- en Besigheidsinstituut van Suid-Afrika (TTbisa) en Basic Package of Support (BPS) aangebied. Hierdie inisiatief het regstreeks voorsiening gemaak vir die leemtes in vaardighede, kennis en toegang, wat tot ho\u00eb jeugwerkloosheid bydra. Jongmense bring kreatiwiteit, dryfkrag en ambisie, maar hulle stuit dikwels teen hindernisse soos beperkte toegang tot geleenthede, hulpbronne en leiding. Hierdie program is ontwerp om daardie gaping te help oorbrug.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sestig begunstigdes het aan die program deelgeneem en 90% van hulle was jongmense. Hierdie jong deelnemers is deurgaans gedurende die program danksy finansiering deur TTbisa ondersteun. Die EDP was meer as net ‘n opleidingsinisiatief \u2014 dit was ‘n katalisator vir selfvertroue, entrepreneurskap en langtermyn-werksbekwaamheid. Om jong mense te ondersteun, gaan veel verder as net ‘n sosiale plig \u2013 dit is ‘n noodsaaklike belegging in die toekomstige sterkte en welvaart van ons gemeenskappe.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wanneer Suid-Afrika stilhou om die moed van die jeug van 1976 te herdenk, moedig Asez ander organisasies aan om nie net een keer per jaar aan die jeug te dink nie, maar om hulle daagliks te ondersteun. Ons beweeg nader aan ‘n toekoms waar elke jong Suid-Afrikaner kan floreer deur jongmense met vaardighede toe te rus en ruimte vir hulle in betekenisvolle sektore te skep.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Laat Jeugdag as meer as net ‘n herdenking dien \u2013 laat dit vir die regering, die bedryf en die samelewing ‘n oproep tot aksie wees om aan te hou bel\u00ea in die leiers van m\u00f4re.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tot volgende keer,\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
