Talent Management

The ICUBFARM Foundation investing in Africa’s youth

In recent years, unemployment has by far become the most vital problem affecting African youths. The most obvious solutions to this problem are; (1) the creation of decent formal jobs, (2) training and development of technical skills that can be easily grasped and monetized to secure self-employment and (3) the empowerment of entrepreneurs to grow SMEs and Multinational Businesses that could subsequently employ young people. Notwithstanding the action taken by Governments and NGOs in this domain, statistics show a worsening youth unemployment rate in the Sub Saharan region despite a burgeoning skilled and ambitious youth population.

The iCUBEFARM Foundation seeks to enhance the work done by the International Labour Organization and other African and​ n​on-African NGOs working in this area. Africa’s most valuable resource is its youth. The iCUBEFARM Foundation works in the most neglected parts of Africa to support young people who are in dire need of opportunities to get a job, grow a career or create or grow a business for their own benefit and that of their communities. We develop initiatives that provide ambitious individuals with relevant training and render them capable of excelling in a modern and competitive world. The iCUBEFARM Foundation provides a range of sustainable measures to enable young professionals and entrepreneurs to develop their employability and entrepreneurship skills through education and training, career development guidance, social innovation initiatives, enhancing entrepreneurship skills, apprenticeship opportunities and promoting workplace and gender equality.

Through the implementation of these sustainable initiatives, we contribute to the best fulfilment of our purpose by developing and overseeing projects that are entirely in alignment with our elemental values to benefit groups of underprivileged young people across the African Continent.

The ICUBEFARM Foundation working to empower Africa’s youth

At ICUBEFARM Foundation, it is our belief that Africa’s most valuable resource is its people and that Africa’s economic transformation can only come as a result of absolute empowerment of its workforce. Thus, we make it our responsibility to provide youth with information and opportunities that can transform their lives and maximize their productive potential”.

Here we highlight 3 key measures that must be undertaken to achieve this goal:

• Education & Training: The importance of core work skills cannot be undermined and remains a key component of employability and entrepreneurship. We seek to build upon and strengthen the skills developed through education programs by organizing youth empowerment programs that focus on teaching employability skills, by providing young professionals with the training tools, resources and high-quality learning solutions necessary to further their career development or to establish entrepreneurship ventures.
• Career Development: We provide tailored career development seminars and events which bring together successful top-level professionals whose inspirational success stories serve as an encouragement to upcoming entry-level and mid-level professionals to enable them to make the right choices regarding their career aspirations. We help young people make informed decisions about future career prospects and business ventures.
• Entrepreneurship: We support young professionals and entrepreneurs to identify and implement innovative solutions and techniques for employment and entrepreneurship in rural and urban communities. We nurture entrepreneurship ideas by providing prime training for the acquisition of essential knowledge and attributes, which will enable youth to successfully handle challenges associated with operating their enterprise. We implore our tools and resources to provide high-quality capacity building and empowerment training programs.

At ICUBEFARM Foundation, we make it our responsibility to provide youth with information and opportunities that can transform their lives and maximize their productive potential. Furthermore, we believe that a collaborative implementation of these measures between the public and private sectors will result in the absolute empowerment of Africa’s workforce.
