Voices Unite Overview
A Megaphone For South Africa’s Youth
In response to the shift in awareness of South Africa’s youth and the need for our future leaders to become more empowered in decision-making for a better tomorrow, IOA is proud to introduce plans for the ‘Voices Unite’ initiative – a large-scale national research study focusing on South African tertiary students.
Voices Unite…
-
will be a ground-breaking digital research platform that will house South Africa’s largest youth-focused research study.
-
aims to unify the voices of youth in the country to inform real change and empower tomorrow’s leaders.
-
is a multi-organisational undertaking that aims to reach South Africa’s +1 million tertiary students and survey more than 30,000 to inform real change and youth empowerment.
-
will explore in detail the state of tertiary education, job readiness, youth unemployment and student views on a range of industries, such as financial services, healthcare, technology and transportation.
It is our belief that a platform to unify and amplify the voices of the country’s youth – their views, ideas and dynamism – can inform true change in South Africa. In order to make this vision a reality, though, there is a need for collaboration and buy-in from relevant private and public sector stakeholders, as well as (most importantly) from the students themselves.
