Afrika Tikkun and Microsoft Unite South African Businesses seek to revolutionise youth employability

# Afrika Tikkun and Microsoft Unite South African Businesses are joining forces to address youth employability and close the skills gap. The organisations recently convened a roundtable discussion that examined whether South Africa’s unemployment challenges are more about job availability or a mismatch in skills demand and supply. The dialogue highlighted a significant obstacle in the country’s workforce development environment, highlighting the apparent lack of cooperation and coordination among stakeholders responsible for equipping the youth with the necessary skills and facilitating employment opportunities.
