Empowering Youth in Gansbaai!

Last week, our Grootbos Enterprise Team hosted a 3-day Employability Workshop for 32 motivated young people in Gansbaai.

Transitioning from school to the world of work can be tough, but these participants showed up with enthusiasm, curiosity, and a hunger to grow.

Over the course of the workshop, they gained valuable skills, built confidence, and learned how to present themselves professionally through CVs and cover letters.

These eager-to-work youth are now preparing for real interviews with local businesses. Those selected will embark on 2 weeks of paid workplace experience, often the first step toward long-term employment.

This is what empowerment looks like.
