You’re reading this toolkit because you’re as aware of the digital skills crisis as we are:
Thousands of talented young South Africans have qualifications in a range of digital skills but lack workplace experience and therefore work opportunities, whilst countless digital jobs remain unfilled. This isn’t just a skills gap; it’s an experience gap.
This toolkit contains a proven solution in the outsourced digital internship model. It’s a blueprint developed from the real-world success of the DigiLink programme, created and delivered by Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator, which achieved a 90% employment rate for its graduates.
Whether you’re a non-profit, a training academy, or a business, this guide will show you how to build your own programme designed to create work-ready digital talent and change the lives of young people while at the same time solving your organisation’s digital transformation challenges and contributing to South Africa’s economy.
