“We are the career development and placement arm of the Afrika Tikkun Cradle to Career 360˚ model,” explains Craig Van Buuren, Afrika Tikkun Services Partnership and Marketing Manager. “This model is a comprehensive approach to child and youth development that considers the needs of each young person across different stages of their lives by offering a set of programmes and support services to counter the effect of poverty and inequality for each young person that comes through their doors. In this way, we are actively working towards the reduction of youth unemployment in a sustainable manner.”
In partnership with Afrika Tikkun Non-profit Company (NPC), ATS strives to develop productive entry- to mid-level candidates, by aiding the empowerment of young job seekers and future leaders through the Cradle to Career 360˚ model.
A free B-BBEE consultation campaign
From now until the end of July 2021, ATS is offering its current and potential clients a free 45-minute consultation around their skills development, enterprise development and socio-economic development needs. ATS uses these elements within the B-BBEE scorecard to access opportunities for its candidates.
This is a great opportunity for companies looking to make a social impact while also achieving B-BBEE compliance.
