Bridging the Gap: Empowering Zimbabwe’s Youth for the Modern Workforce

HARARE – As the global job market becomes increasingly competitive, a new initiative is stepping up to ensure Zimbabwean graduates and school leavers are prepared for the demands of the professional world. ALMA (Africa Leadership and Management Academy), in partnership with HireMe Afrika, has officially announced the launch of the Zimbabwe Work Readiness Program.
