More about SIT-UP
SIT-UP is a year-long programme which actively fosters skills development in youth, a segment of South African society that is chronically underskilled due to factors beyond their control. High levels of unemployment of youth translate into various other social problems, thus it is a priority to upskill the 16-35 age group. SIT-UP enables standout youth through an intensive year of access to professional training programmes and work integrated learning experiences. They receive a stipend and gain access to networks in the sports, health and the fitness enterprises to leverage opportunities for employment within these sectors.
