VOCO

who we are.

Our mission is to partner with South African youth over the most crucial decade of their lives

VOCO’s EdTech works to provide 3 core features to young people across the ages of 13-23+. We ensure young people are guided, equipped and launched directly into the market, working to decrease youth unemployment rates across the nation.

VOCO provides:

  1. Career guidance
  2. Access to development: Skills, Vocational and Higher Education 
  3. Market Access
49.86%
of South African youth are unemployed
12.2%
of young people receive post-school education

“VOCO was born from countless instances of confusion, frustration and feeling as though I was on the outside looking in at everyone who seemingly had their career figured out. I’ve seen peers fall into passionless careers or give up because there’s a profound disconnect between opportunity and accessibility. They deserve better. They deserve to find their vocation, to be on fire and feel ready to change to the world. So, I’m building VOCO to fix that.

 Join me, join the movement. 

Find your vocation.”
