Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator: How to Register

How To Register With Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator

Youth unemployment is one of the major causes of hardship and poverty in the world. While some youths are unemployed because they do not have the necessary qualifications, others who have them are unemployed because they do not have access to job opportunities. They are unaware of the periods when companies have vacancies and so only apply when the portal is closed, and they end up stranded.

Young people can face barriers to stable work even when they have skills and qualifications. Government, employers and organisations such as Harambee work to improve access to opportunities and support.

This article discusses Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator, how to register, and the available job opportunities for youths. 

What is the Harambee youth employment accelerator?

Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator is a not-for-profit social enterprise working with government, employers and other partners on youth employment. Use its current impact reporting for dated results rather than treating an old job count as current.

Harambee works to improve young people’s access to earning and learning opportunities. Its reach and outcomes change over time; consult its published impact reports for the reporting period and measure used.

SA Youth offers learning and earning opportunities with different entry requirements. A matric certificate, less than one year’s experience and eligibility for a permanent entry-level job are not universal requirements to join the network.

Harambee manages the SA Youth network. The platform connects young people with jobs, volunteering, learnerships, bursaries and work experience; SA Youth is a network and Harambee is its manager.

Harambee Requirements 

1. Use the South African or Refugee ID number required by the SA Youth registration process.
2. A matric certificate is not required for every opportunity or for all network registration.
3. Harambee’s work-seeker page describes network registration for ages 18–34; individual programmes may have their own criteria.
4. Previous employment does not impose a universal one-year exclusion from the network.
5. Keep your employment status accurate; individual opportunities set their own unemployment requirements.
