KASI KONVERSATIONS | We cannot train our way out of an economy that keeps its doors closed

There is a question we need to ask about the way we approach youth unemployment in the Eastern Cape. How much longer will we prepare young people to participate in the economy without paying enough attention to whether the economy is prepared to make room for them? It is a difficult question, particularly when young people are constantly encouraged to acquire skills, become entrepreneurs and find innovative ways to create their own opportunities.
