The Innovator Trust together with Vodacom, established the Youth Entrepreneurship Programme (YEP) in 2017 with the aim to equip local unemployed youth with the requisite set of skills to become cutting-edge entrepreneurs.
The objective of the tailor-made programme is to drive entrepreneurship and create job opportunities that could bring significant changes to the local economy. This is done by supporting young entrepreneurs in developing their business idea, business model, structuring their business plan as well as other pertinent business development areas.
