ReadyToLeadAfrica (RTLA) organized a free 2-week work readiness training aimed at equipping unemployed and underemployed youth with essential employability and soft skills. The program covered key areas such as CV writing, interview preparation, communication, time management, networking, and digital literacy.
The training featured expert facilitators and practical sessions, with strong participation from youth across various regions. Participants reported improved confidence, professional behavior, and job search skills. Some have since secured interviews or internships.
Challenges included limited internet access for virtual learners and overwhelming demand. RTLA plans to scale the program and offer continued mentorship and support.
Overall, the initiative successfully advanced RTLA’s goal of promoting youth employment and readiness for the modern workforce.
