OUR STORY
IMPACT SOURCING WITH HEART
With over 60 collective years of experience in Global Business Services (GBS), we are providing this rapidly evolving sector with an empowered new talent source. Our focus is on equipping our shadows to deal with the ever evolving future of customer contact in a more complex, human-centric, digitally enabled environment. This allows us to increase value for our customers while providing sustainable – and increasingly relevant – jobs to the youth of South Africa.
We place focus on unemployed school leavers (matriculants) and excluded youth. Our students are taken through a three-month purpose specific programme that, upon successful completion, concludes with a career offer. We only recruit the number of students that we are able to place into careers, thereby helping to secure them employment. Our candidates are matched to the hiring company’s recruitment criteria to ensure seamless transition and successful outcomes – promoting employee retention.
Our aim is to have our training locations close to where the majority of our candidates live to reduce time, budget and travel challenges for students. By doing this we help to address the economic segregation legacy of South Africa’s past, while stimulating the local economy of disadvantaged areas. Developing our centre in a previously disadvantaged area is innovative, unique and game changing. Making a better future by ensuring we help to redress the past positively together, and creating a circle of hope for excluded youth who are encouraged to the best they can be, enabling their absorption into the GBS industry. This results in fewer youth choosing the path of antisocial activities
