Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator: How to Register

How To Register With Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator

Youth unemployment is one of the major causes of hardship and poverty in the world. While some youths are unemployed because they do not have the necessary qualifications, others who have them are unemployed because they do not have access to job opportunities. They are unaware of the periods when companies have vacancies and so only apply when the portal is closed, and they end up stranded.

Other youths keep moving from one temporary job to another because they find it almost impossible to be gainfully employed at permanent jobs. This is a major cause for concern because unemployed youth are often unproductive to society and may engage in criminal activities to feed themselves. However, individuals, governments, religious bodies, and other organizations like Harambee are bridging the gap between job opportunities and youths who are willing to work.

This article discusses Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator, how to register, and the available job opportunities for youths.
