Increasing youth employability through specialized and in-demand
technical learning verticals
Up-skilling For Young People
Current disruptive technology changes raise concerns of human labor displacement, especially as Africa’s unemployment rate keeps sky rocketing. Africa’s employment challenge is essentially a youth employment challenge. Of the 73 million jobs created between 2000 and 2008, only 22 percent were filled by youth (AfDB, 2017). The rate of unemployment among youth is estimated to be double that of adults in most African countries (AfDB, 2017).
Through 2019, Olearn offered scholarships to about 150 young people to learn Data Analytics and Business Intelligence, to enable them transition into new roles.
