Year in Review: South Africa
Bridge to work skills and
employability programme
Why we invest
Over a third of all economically active people in South Africa are unemployed and half of that
population (50%) are young people, who require sustainable pathways to a meaningful future.
With the economy growing at 0,6%, it is important
to look at alternative ways of assisting the
unemployed population.
This is the reason why Sasol launched the Bridge
to Work programme, an employability programme
targeting the unemployed with a particular focus on
youth and women, without being exclusionary of men

to assist them with critical skills which will enable them
to either be employed or start their own businesses.
The goal of the programme is to aid fenceline
community members and affected Sasol employees
to access meaningful work opportunities that can
potentially be converted into small businesses through
structured development opportunities.
