South Africa's Unemployment Rate is projected at 34.111% in Dec 2021. Of particular concern is the high rate of youth unemployment which lead to social problems. Wellington also has its share of these problems. Through our training interventions (600 students/annum ) we address the social problems and empower individuals with the necessary skills to compete within the job market and generate their own income - directly impact the employment rate in our country, since 1998.
