Influence Africa Group has
been hosting Rural 2 Rural Career Guidance Roadshow program since 2015,
throughout the nine provinces in South Africa. The Rural 2 Rural Career
Guidance Roadshow program empowers the youth from townships and rural areas in
one manner that counts: education. For the first time this year, the program
prioritizes Umlazi township. Ayanda
Mafuleka, the CEO from Finance and Accounting Services Sector Education and
Training Authority, known as Fasset, a female leader passionate about making a
difference within our community, with a particular focus for HDIs says that
this is a step in the right direction.
Fasset, in association with
Influence Africa Group, is hosting Rural 2 Rural Career Guidance Roadshow
program. In a time when South Africa faces unemployment crisis with over 55% of
our youth being unemployed in a country whose highest population numbers are
the youth, the road show presents a piece of eye-opening information
encouraging our youth to look beyond being employed, teaching them about scarce
skills. Fasset empowers the youth through learnerships, apprenticeship, and
bursaries.

Guidance Roadshow program would visit the high schools listed below:

The Program Coordinator for
KZN Nguwe Wedwa CEO/Founder Mbongeleni Mzimela wish to spread the word about
the program so that even the youth that is not part of the high schools they
can visit at this point benefit from receiving some information. We are
reaching out to the youth through newspaper articles, radio interviews and
social media.
“Our future lies on the
shoulders of the youth; we all need to play a role in grooming strong,
knowledgeable, self-reliant leaders.” Ayanda Mafuleka says.
