Access to broadband and the reduction of data costs are important. The high cost of data is a barrier for entry.
Recognition of informal skills outside of matric qualification is critical to have mass absorption into the labor market.
Recognition of internship programs as qualified experience is necessary to allow greater absorption and avoid young people moving from one job to another.
Advertising of posts should state that they are ring fenced for young people between the ages of 18 – 35 and target rural unemployed youth.
