THE GLOBAL COLLECTIVE

Development & Mentoring Programme

The youth unemployment rate in South Africa, of job-seekers under the age of 24 years old, was over 64% at the end of 2021. The Covid crisis continues to negatively impact employment for people throughout Africa, especially the youth, where 45% of university graduates are still jobless one year after graduating. The objective of The Global Collective is to provide advice, upliftment, skills development and mentoring to those disadvantaged in South Africa, to enable them to find employment, start their own businesses, transform their lives, and give them hope for the future.

Become a Mentor

You're seasoned and experienced in your field of business – maybe retired and wise – and ready to support less experienced youths from the townships of South Africa, to achieve their business goals or personal growth objectives. You want to pass on what you know to help them achieve greater efficiency, productivity and effectiveness.

 

Whatever your field of expertise, if you're ready for a protégé and have the time and wisdom to give, The Global Collective is your way to connect, to develop relationship opportunities with others who need your support, guidance and trusted feedback while attaining professional competence and skills.

 

Mentoring adds value to mentees by changing their ways of thinking, solving problems, strategising and developing other skills that are relevant to their small business development goals or their future professional careers.
