Developing Stars
Developing Stars empowers South Africa’s youth by partnering with public and private sectors to enhance operational capacity, increase graduate employment, and drive sustainable socio-economic development.
Its flagship initiative, the ECD Financial Management Programme, collaborates with the Gauteng City Region Academy (GCRA), the Gauteng Department of Education, Health and Welfare SETA (HWSETA), leading training providers and psycho–social coaches and mentors to recruit and up skills unemployed graduates through an integrated skills training and work placement programme.
Simultaneously, through this programme, graduates assist in strengthening compliance processes and sustainability for identified non-compliant Early Childhood Development Centres (ECD) in the communities, while gaining valuable work experience, entrepreneurial skills, and professional training. This initiative improves the efficiency of ECD centres and boosts graduates’ employability, fostering a skilled workforce that contributes to South Africa’s future.
