Our Background The evolution of a countries labour market has remained the biggest driving force to growing a sustainable economy and social development. This includes the constant upscaling of skills and recycling knowledge for innovative and creative mindsets. All these are important ingredients for a country to thrive in the global economy. 60% of Africa's population is home to youth under the age of 25 years. That is a massive indicator for economic growth, or is it? 10 Proof Copy: Not optimized for high quality printing or digital distribution
For example, South Africa's constantly developing economy presents much opportunity for it's growing youth population in terms of labour force however it bears a massive skills shortage due to a mismatch of qualification and field of study. With the growing rate of technology disruptions, taking up 5.1 million of existing work between 2015-2020 in 15 major & emerging economies according to the WEF.: The Future of Jobs. This is a major cry for a skills upgrade within organizations and learning institutions curricula. Which is why preparing our youth by equipping them with a theory guided project & problem-based learning is essential, as it provides employment readiness due to it's practical application of the learnt curriculum & soft skills training leaving students affective competencies & standard proficiencies. This means employers require employees who can collaborate, communicate and influence as modern workplace environments reflect this through open-plan workspaces designed for increased interaction. It is due to these identified needs we have collaborated with existing NGO's to adopt the Skill Exchange Makerspace model, corporate companies to help onboard our students after completion and universities to help with the knowledge transfer by using the space for their students practical application of their field of study. This will creates consistently high quality learning, accessibility to students, international recognition and relevancy to the needs of industry. By introducing new approaches such work integrated learning using project & problem-based learning & assessment, opening room for Recognition of Prior Learning, Skill Exchange Makerspace will create personalized career pathways for people who seek autonomy, authenticity, craftsmanship & meaningful assessment. 11 Proof Copy: Not optimized for high quality printing or digital distribution
