Empowering Gansbaai Youth for Employment Success

37 enthusiastic locals recently embarked on their journey to employment at Grootbos Foundation's Employability Workshop. Packed with essential training, life skills, insights, and networking opportunities, each participant gained invaluable tools and confidence to thrive in the world of work.

Armed with newfound skills in Work, People, Money, and Entrepreneurship, these individuals are now poised for the next step: applying for work experience placements. Their excitement is palpable, and we share in their enthusiasm!
