Signa Opportunity
Striving to break the employment barriers that make it hard for the youth to enter the job market Signa Opportunity, offers an array of programmes to create economic pathways for South Africa’s youth. Among their offerings is the Youth Employment Service (YES) Initiative. The programme helps facilitate and promote the creation of employment and self-employment opportunities for every youth member coming through their doors.
“At Signa, we believe that by all of us participating and solving the unemployment problem, we can make an impact.” – Tulani Hlabangana (Signa Opportunity Director)
