As South Africa continues to grapple with the lingering effects of its history, it’s clear that education and skills development are crucial to unlocking a brighter future for its Black youth and the country. Teaching skills to change lives is more than just a mantra; it’s a necessity for bridging the gap between potential and opportunity.

Companies like Skills College, which partners with private sector companies to provide training and job placement for young people, are leading the charge. Similarly, initiatives like the South African Youth Development Fund, supported by South African corporations, are providing critical funding for education and skills development programs.

By investing in the skills and education of Black youth, we can empower them to break free from the shackles of poverty and unemployment. It’s not just about teaching technical skills, but also about instilling confidence, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities. When we equip young people with the tools they need to succeed, we open doors to new possibilities and create a ripple effect of positive change in their communities.

Let us continue to support and amplify these efforts, recognising that teaching skills to change lives is not only a moral imperative, but also a sound investment in South Africa’s future. By doing so, we can help create a more inclusive and prosperous society, where every young person has the opportunity to thrive.
