Cradle to Career focuses on creating opportunities to learn, practice and increase skills. We suggests that engaging youth in pro-social, meaningful and community-enhancing activities that the youth themselves define and control, helps youth gain vital skills, responsibilities and confidence necessary to become productive and successful.

A lack of access to education results in many young people working in the informal sector, with very poor earning potential, limited opportunities and little to non-existent job security. Worse still, a large segment of youth in developing countries cannot secure work at all,  due to a lack of education and/or skills. Tertiary education or training is generally out of reach for many young people, severely impeding their chances of progress. This is especially true for vulnerable communities where taking care of their family’s basic needs far outweighs the consideration of spending money on education. This scenario necessitates the urgent need for free education and training programs, to help  youth transcend the limitations of their financial situations. Opportunities for Cradle to Career is an online portal that hosts an extensive list of opportunities, among other life-changing prospects – specifically aimed at showcasing global opportunities that help harness their potential across  various fields.  

Cradle to Career's Initiative aims at creating Youth Leaders & Entrepreneurs to break the cycle of poverty and  generate socio-economic growth and  job creators of tomorrow. Our Organisation wants to produce a future generation of entrepreneurs able to significantly contribute to the economy and employment landscape as well as skills development when it comes to the critical leadership and transferrable skills.
