The growing complexity of youth transitions, work type and the changes in the labour market are challenges facing governments in Africa.

Educators and employers agree that there is a growing gap between the skills that companies expect from their entry level employees and the skills that these your people possess.

Employers are increasingly looking for youth who are flexible, adaptive, proactive, creative and collaborative. In short, youth need skills: the broad set of skills, attitudes, behaviours and personal qualities that enable them to effectively navigate their environment, work with others, perform well and achieve their goals.

To bridge the skills gap, industry leaders and researchers indicate that what is needed is more soft skills training. Acquisition of such skills has been linked to Whole Youth Development (WYD).

Equipping youth with skills and knowledge that promote WYD is essential for their success.

Tusome Digital Academy has developed an e-learning platform that makes soft skills training more accessible, consistent and cost effective so that a greater number of young people acquire these skills for employment.

The courses can be subscribed to annually for an affordable fee either as individual courses or as a bundle depending on the area of interest.
