What the Program Does

When our first Orphan to College students began graduating, we recognized a gap: a diploma alone was not enough to secure meaningful employment. The Business Empowerment (BE) career readiness program is our structured solution for all graduates.

Youth Unemployment Case Study in Tanzania

Only 7.7% of Tanzanians hold formal paid employment positions (Integrated Labour Force Survey, NBS). Many young graduates lack access to structured career readiness training, employer networks, and practical job application skills.

The BE Program bridges that gap by aligning education with employer expectations.

The results

100% improved understanding of the job market
89% would recommend the program
73% secured employment within six months
