The Emdeni Skills Centre in Soweto was established in 2010. Its purpose is to provide skills training to the youth so that they can enter the mainstream economy by becoming employed or starting their own businesses. Currently more than 280 young adults between the ages of 18 and 35 are benefiting from the programme annually.
We operate in partnership with agencies that have SETA accredited courses and aim for accredited qualifications for our students.
