Our Partnership with The Knowledge Trust

75% of young South Africans are not in education, training, or employment. 

South Africa has the highest youth unemployment rate in the world, and the highest gini coefficient in the world. IU has partnered with The Knowledge Trust to close the skills gap by offering bursaries to empower the youth and build pipelines of future talent for employers.
