In an effort to reduce unemployment, the Desmond & Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation has initiated a programme designed to strengthen young people’s opportunities for employment. Desmond & Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation, the Youth@Work programme provides young people with a chance to define, plan and begin to implement their career path.
Youth@Work empowers young people to take control of their lives. The programme attracts young people from underserved communities across Cape Town. All have completed high school but have little or no hope of accessing further education or of finding employment.
