ALL ABOUT YOUTHED
YouthED was established in 2022 as a non-profit organisation that will generate funds and enable prospective learners to attain essential skills and/or academic qualifications. YouthED was founded by four female members who have a wealth of experience in education, learning and training. We realized the need to address the lack of resources for individuals and communities who wishes to improve their lives through education.
YouthED will operate in partnership with CTU Training Solutions. CTU Training Solutions is an award-winning private tertiary education provider and has been developing skilled professionals since 1987 with a footprint of 11 campuses nationwide. Funding and financial support for learners will therefore be channeled through the qualifications offered by CTU.
Our services are not only limited to funded education but will also include counselling services to prospective learners as career counselling services are not available to most.
OUR VISION
YouthED is to provide resources to the youth of Southern Africa that will provide equal tertiary education opportunities for all who wish to empower themselves.
OUR MISSION
To make a difference through education and skills development. We want to empower young people with the possibility of a great future through education and the acquisition of skills and support them in achieving great feats..
