OUR Vision
We prepare and connect people to global economic opportunities
Who we are
Yapha academy is an ed-tech company that uses innovative technology to deliver employee readiness training programs to early stage professionals empowering them to do their best work.There is a rise in the unemployment rate in Africa and a low level in employee readiness amongst University graduates
Yapha Academy is changing this narrative as we bring cohort training packages that are self-paced with opportunities to be connected to employer partners. To reduce the unemployment rate in Africa, we are driven to ensure we close the skill gap and promote employee readiness, thereby increasing work performance and driving business growth.
A recent survey we carried out in 2021 showed over 77% of job seekers attributing the reason for their unemployment to be ”No connections to prospective employers” and “Lack of skills/experience. It was observed that most of their applications do not get reviewed by the appropriate in-house person in most cases.
