Rural 2 Rural Career Guidance 2019

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.

The Rural 2 Rural Career Guidance Roadshow program would visit the high schools listed below:

29 August 2019

· Umlazi Commercial High School – 07h30am

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.
