Today our guest is Platform Entrepreneurial Hub CEO Ntokozo Sibiya.

• Startup Gap Year is an pre-university, entrepreneurship focused program for young people who want to gain skills and experience to be able to either start a business or be intrapreneurial in their workplace.
• The programme intends to reduce the youth unemployment rate by equipping them with 21st century skills for the future of work.
• With the exam results for '21 Matrics coming out this month, there will be a high number of young people looking for options, opportunities, and ideas.
• This also means that a very high number of young people may be sucked into the cycle of joblessness.
• COVID has exposed the need for a higher number young people to become job creators instead of job seekers, with skills such as new venture creation and project management becoming critically essential for them to thrive in this fourth industrial revolution.
• This programme offers learnership opportunities for people who also do not have a matric qualification.
