Not everyone is born into an environment where work ethic, self-confidence and the skills for success in studies and a first job is instilled from a young age. The odds are especially against some young people from townships in South Africa, where unemployment rates often exceed 50% This week, I had the privilege of visiting Shadow Careers (https://shadowcareers.co/), an NGO in Cape Town, South Africa dedicated to helping young people from underprivileged communities acquire the soft skills needed to thrive in the customer support industry—a booming sector in South Africa. As part of their 12-week program, young people, selected based on their behaviors and values, not only learn the skills required to become a customer support agent but also embark on a journey of self-discovery, building self-awareness and self-confidence along the way. This program is truly a game changer for young individuals who otherwise struggle to find employment. I was deeply impressed and touched by how grateful these participants are for the opportunities Shadow Careers provides. A huge shoutout to the Shadow Careers leadership team (Adjoa Ayivor - CA(SA), MBA) for their dedication, and to Telus, our customer support partner, for supporting this impactful initiative.
