Digital Jobs Africa


Description

The aim of this initiative is to Connect Africa's rapidly growing youth population with sustainable employment opportunities.The Digital Jobs Africa initiative launched in 2013, and has successfully led to the establishment of an inclusive hiring practice known as impact sourcing, and helped scale demand-driven skills training approaches for youth. These will be advanced through the two legacy pieces—namely the Global Impact Sourcing Coalition and the Demand Driven Training Toolkit, which showcases best practices in approaches in youth skills development.
