Youth empowerment initiative
The Forvis Mazars Youth Employment Initiative was established to echo Forvis Mazars’ vision to make a difference in our communities, our clients and our teams. The initiative aims to address the socio-economic issue of unemployment and lack of skills in South Africa.
Forvis Mazars identifies willing youth from designated groups and provides them with an extensive two-month job readiness training programme with professional accredited training partners and job placement support services. We are then successfully able to provide a solution to our clients to maximise their points for skills development, enterprise and supplier development on their B-BBEE scorecard by employing the youth we have trained.
