Career Development

Each year, many young people graduate and embark on a journey looking for employment. However, current education and training has proved inadequate in supporting young people in the transition process from school to work due to the mismatch of skills between the labour supply and demand. The gap has major implications in businesses, institutions and governments undermining economic development and social stability. To address this gap, Growth Development Consultancy, offers services improving the employability skills of young people, expand specialized technical skills, and support youth manage their careers.
