About the Ithuba Youth Economic Development Programme
The Ithuba Youth Economic Development Programme is a City of Tshwane initiative designed to support young people who want to participate more actively in the economy.
Rather than focusing on only one type of opportunity, the programme provides different development pathways. These include preparation for employment and workplace opportunities as well as skills training and support for young people interested in business.
The programme’s broader objective is to help participants gain skills, find employment, start or grow businesses and participate in the economy.
Available Opportunities
1. Work Readiness and Internships
This part of the programme focuses on preparing young people for employment and connecting them with workplace opportunities.
Available support includes:
- Internships
- Job placement
- CV writing
- Interview skills
The work-readiness component can therefore help participants prepare for recruitment while the internship and placement opportunities provide pathways towards workplace exposure.
2. Skilled Trades
The programme also provides training for artisans and technicians.
This pathway is aimed at skills development within trades and technical fields.
3. Business and Entrepreneurship
Young people interested in entrepreneurship can access support aimed at helping them develop their business ideas.
The programme describes this component as helping participants turn an idea into a thriving business.
4. Supplier Development
Supplier development support is available for participants interested in becoming registered suppliers for the City.
This creates a separate pathway for young people who are interested in business opportunities rather than only traditional employment.
5. Driver’s Licence Support
The Ithuba Youth Economic Development Programme also includes funding and support to obtain a driver’s licence.
The supplied programme information does not specify which driver’s licence codes are covered or the amount of funding available.
