The State of SA’s Skills Programmes to Jobs Pipeline

Liyema Consulting Founder and CEO Ayanda Mzondeki joins Kaya Biz to unpack why South Africa’s youth unemployment remains stubbornly high despite billions spent on training. We explore the disconnect between courses and workplace readiness, what employers actually want, and how the Ready Set Work programme helps young people build confidence, narrative and practical experience. Ayanda shares insights on breaking the “no experience, no job” cycle and offers guidance for young job‑seekers stuck between training and employment. www.kaya959.co.za
