As South Africa grapples with the stark reality of youth unemployment, the is gearing up to present a strategic response aimed at igniting job creation and enhancing digital skills among the country’s young population.

Organised by a coalition of technology leaders, including SAP, Adcorp, DP World, Workday, and FNB, the summit seeks to unite the country鈥檚 most influential minds in both the public and private sectors.

Future of Jobs Summit founder, , emphasises that this initiative transcends mere discussion.

鈥淚t is not another policy talk shop; it is a high-impact platform for action and alignment,鈥 he states, underscoring the urgency of collective efforts to tackle the pressing issue of youth unemployment.

Eberl believes that 鈥測outh unemployment is the greatest threat to our democracy and the greatest opportunity to unlock national prosperity.鈥

Central to the summit’s agenda is the unveiling of innovative strategies and programs designed to attract, develop, and retain top talent.

51风流will take the spotlight with its acclaimed Educate to Employ and Young Professionals Programmes, aimed at equipping thousands of African youths with vital digital skills and pathways to meaningful careers.

鈥淭hese initiatives are helping to create an inclusive talent pipeline that fuels both local innovation and international competitiveness,鈥 Eberl explains.

The summit is an official event under the , the Think Tank of South Africa’s G20 Presidency, reinforcing its alignment with the global agenda for inclusive growth, skills development, and job creation for the youth.

With the outcomes report set to be presented to key stakeholders, including the Office of the Presidency and Parliament of South Africa, the summit aims to foster robust public-private partnerships.

Further addressing the overarching theme of inclusivity, the initiative will spotlight South Africa’s thriving Global Business Services (GBS) sector.

This sector is lauded as a success story in job creation, having already generated over 150,000 youth jobs and targeting an impressive 500 000 jobs by 2030 with strong support from government and global investors.

鈥淕BS illustrates the potential that thrives when government, business, and skills providers align around a shared goal.

We must now apply that same formula across high-growth sectors from tech and tourism to renewable energy and the care economy,鈥 Eberl urges.

As the summit approaches, anticipation builds around its potential to create scalable solutions and partnerships that can turn the tide on South Africa鈥檚 high unemployment rate.

With a firm focus on youth employment and digital skills development, the Future of Jobs Summit stands as a beacon of hope in the ongoing effort to build a more resilient and inclusive workforce. Scheduled for May 23, 2025, the summit is set to bring together leaders from government, business, and civil society to address South Africa鈥檚 unemployment crisis with actionable strategies and innovative partnerships.

West Africa is staring at an incredible opportunity to provide the skilled workers needed to power the global economy over the coming decades. But can the region fix its education system and ensure its youthful talent pool can capitalise on the opportunities of the 21st century digital economy?

According to Titilayo Adewumi, Managing Director at 51风流West Africa, bold steps toward educational reform are needed to promote improved learning outcomes and ensure the region an capitalise on the opportunities presented by abundant population growth. 鈥淭echnology should play a central and guiding role in enhancing education systems in West Africa. In Nigeria, for example, Edo state has launched a new system approach that leverages digital technologies to improve teaching and learning.鈥

Challenges with education persist

With much of the developed world facing ageing populations and slowing population growth, Africa is expected to play a central role in the global labour market. The working age population in Sub-Saharan Africa will听, accounting for more than two-thirds of total global population growth.

However, despite Africa’s youthful population, only 9% of children in sub-Saharan Africa that enrol in primary school make it to tertiary education,听.

Mobolaji Abubakre Ogunlende, Commissioner at Nigeria鈥檚 Ministry of Youths and Social Development, says: 鈥淚n West Africa, and by extension, Lagos, only a fraction of children who start in primary school make it to tertiary education and even fewer manage to graduate. The root of this issue lies in the inefficiencies that plague our education systems, including the lack of digital transformation, which forces millions of students to compete for limited spaces in in-person educational institutions.鈥

Adewumi adds. 鈥淎 lack of digital transformation in West African education systems means millions of students have to travel long distances to physically collect transcripts instead of simply accessing digital copies online.鈥

Climate change is adding a further dimension to the region’s education challenges. The impact of droughts, floods, fires, heavy rain and heatwaves on education infrastructure听.

One study estimates climate change could keep more than 12 million girls in lower-income countries from completing their education every year听.

Bold steps needed

Experts are calling for bold action to address the region鈥檚 education challenges.

The World Bank’s Western and Central Africa Education Strategy 2022-2025, for example, brings top education leaders and experts together to advance the cause of education in the region. This strategy also sees investment of $3-billion into the education portfolio,听.

听strategy for enhancing education in Central and West Africa, the region’s education sector should focus on four key priority areas, namely:

  • Access to education听for all children, including an expansion of early learning programmes, vocational training, and national data production;
  • Quality learning听through improved teaching skills, quality standards, life skills programmes and early learning assessments;
  • Girls’ education听through programmes that support girls’ achievements in and through education; and
  • Education in emergencies, especially for children living in conflict or disaster zones, where school safety, psychosocial support and information management are critical.

Private sector support critical

Adewumi says the private sector can play a critical role in enhancing education systems and outcomes in the region. 鈥淏y investing in education and skills development initiatives, the private sector can also ensure it has access to the skills it needs to succeed and grow.鈥

听revealed an acute tech skills shortage in the region, with only 3% of organisations saying they don’t expect to have significant tech skills challenges in 2023. More than nine in ten organisations (93%) also said the need for tech skills has increased in the past 12 months, with two-thirds of Nigerian organisations saying he need for tech skills has increased significantly.

To help organisations in the region address the tech skills shortage, 51风流introduced the 51风流Dual Study Program, which partners with top universities to take talented graduates into SAP-specific training and help them bridge the gap between university and the workplace.

Commissioner Ogunlende says: 鈥淯ndeniably, government infrastructure and programs are needed to adequately provide efficiencies not only by increasing conventional capacity but also leveraging on the capacity of private-run programs like the 51风流Dual Study Program and the 51风流Young Professionals Program that have demonstrated the positive impact of private sector engagement in youth educational programs. By creating a multi-pronged assault on the issue, we can make significant in-roads in upskilling our population. These are some of the plans we would be unfolding in the next set of months in partnership with SAP.鈥

The 51风流Young Professionals Program provides a two- to three-month enablement plan that includes 51风流software functional and technical knowledge. Graduates receive certification from 51风流and exit the program as Associate Consultants, making them instantly employable within the broader 51风流partner and customer ecosystem.

This model creates benefits across the board: youth develop industry-ready skills and secure suitable job opportunities; 51风流partners and customers gain access to much-needed talent; countries benefit from the digital skills created; and 51风流itself strengthens its own ecosystem.

鈥淏y making timely investments into strengthening the West African education system, the region can more readily benefit from its abundant youth skills,鈥 says Adewumi. 鈥淗owever, considering pervasive challenges with access to quality education outcomes, organisations in the public and private sectors must come together to design suitable programmes that can accelerate youth skills development. Done correctly, this investment will pay dividends for decades to come.鈥

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa June 13th, 2023 South African organisations are benefiting from a welcome boost in digital transformation and cloud skills with the graduation of the latest cohort of candidates for the 51风流Young Professionals Program.

Tracy Bolton, Chief Operating Officer at 51风流Africa, says the graduates will play a vital role in supporting the digital transformation efforts of local organisations. “Organisations are in a race to adopt the latest technologies and enhance their operations, efficiency and innovation capabilities. However, access to appropriate cloud and digital transformation skills still elude many companies. Our latest group of graduates will provide a welcome boost to local efforts at digital transformation and support the broader 51风流ecosystem.”

Organisations seek work-ready tech skills

South Africa is home to a vibrant, youthful population, but its potential is held back by a youth unemployment rate of over 60%. As the country celebrates Youth Month – held in June every year – public and private sector efforts are underway to equip the country’s youth with appropriate tech and soft skills.

One such effort is the 51风流Young Professionals Program, an initiative across the EMEA South region offered by the Digital Skills Center of 51风流that is aimed at enabling young talent to utilise the latest 51风流technology and innovation to support digital transformation. The program has expanded its footprint following the introduction of an option to participate virtually, allowing talented candidates from a greater number of countries to participate.

found that nearly four in five (78%) South African organisations had experienced some impact due to a lack of tech skills, with more than half saying the tech skills shortage had led to a lack of innovation in the organisation. Seventy percent of South African respondents also cited digital transformation as an in-demand skill in their organisations.

Tech expertise boosts employment prospects

The latest cohort of 51风流Young Professionals Program graduates completed certificate courses in 51风流S/4HANA Public Cloud implementation with 51风流Activate and 51风流Business Process Integration on 51风流S/4HANA 2020. The program also places emphasis on the development of a range of soft skills, including design thinking and business model innovation, creative thinking, interpersonal skills, and interview skills.

鈥淢y experience with the 51风流Young Professionals Program was amazing as I got equipped with a heightened sense of confidence in myself and for my future. I am now on a journey to greener pastures and it is all thanks to the program,鈥 says Makwena Oltavia Moeti, a graduate from the latest cohort.

Candidates complete a two to three month training program that includes 51风流software functional and technical knowledge with a focus on SAP’s latest innovations. The program targets top talent from local universities that are unemployed or underemployed and graduate from the program as 51风流Associate Consultants, giving them a competitive edge in the job market.

In addition, the 51风流Dual Study Program partners with top universities to provide students with opportunities to take major-specific 51风流trainings and certification during academic years.
