Workplace Experience and Entrepreneur Mentorship in Action

Last week, three young women began their workplace experience at Checkers in Whale Coast Mall! Opportunities like this are more than just temporary jobs with the right mentorship and life skills, seasonal work often becomes a stepping stone to permanent employment.

While they gain real-world experience, our 2025 Entrepreneur cohort is forging ahead on their business journeys. With respectful guidance and hands-on support, we’re helping these brave individuals turn ideas into impact.

Behind the scenes, our team is actively tracking the programme’s impact as part of our mission to better understand how to support meaningful career pathways for youth in our communities.
