What is Youth Foundation Training?

Youth Foundation Training is a programme aimed at the development of the youth of South Africa from previously disadvantaged communities. The programme focuses on the improvement of matriculation results by providing a positive and stimulating learning environment where learners can reach their full potential.

Why is the Department of Defence (DOD) involved?

The Department of Defence acknowledges the challenges set by Parliament and civil society to transform. Part of this transformation is to ensure that all race and gender groups within our borders are represented in the respective ranks and functions within the DOD. The Youth Foundation Training Programme is an effort by the DOD to identify youth with the necessary academic potential, to develop that potential and to prepare them for a career in the department and further tertiary education.

Where and when will the Programme be offered?

The one-year academic programme will commence in January at a training facility in Gauteng (Ekurhuleni College). Accommodation, meals, study aid, stationery and pocket money will be provided to the learners.

What happens at the end of the year?

Learners will be required to re-write the relevant Grade 12 subjects. Learners who have successfully completed the programme will be considered for a career in the DOD. Learners who are not considered will be given the opportunity to explore other options in the open labour market.
