We’re breaking barriers with our leading retail skills programmes
South Africa’s youth are resilient and filled with potential – yet they have the highest unemployment of all age groups. Over 62% of youth aged 15 to 40 do not have jobs*. Our JumpStart programme is taking urgent action, equipping unemployed youth with sought-after retail and manufacturing skills to help unlock career potential.
Mr Price Foundation will never ask you to pay to apply for the JumpStart programme. Please do not respond to scams asking for any form of payment
