As stated on the JumpStart official website, their youth employment programme is aimed at recruiting unemployed youth and training them for the world of employment to enable them to “transition into meaningful careers”. Youth also become equipped with valuable life skills.
Apart from their youth employment efforts, the JumpStart group aims to make a considerable difference in South African schooling institutions through transforming “underperforming classrooms into centres of maths and science excellence” as well as providing meaningful work experience, on topics such as store management, for South African youth who are unemployed.
Although the JumpStart programme itself only offers training and development for students, the JumpStart initiative has paired up with a few retail companies to launch the JumpStart Retail Frontline Programme. Who knows, you might even become part of store management one day.
