Trusted by the best
Do good, and do well.
To commemorate Mandela Day, The Knowledge Trust aims to enrol 67,000 young South Africans into a 30-day programme, delivered entirely on WhatsApp, to grow their mindset and increase their employability. The top performing participants will then get access to jobs, learnerships, and bursaries – with your support.
How it will work 
1. WhatsApp CV
Participants will create a digital CV via WhatsApp that will be used when they apply for opportunities
2. Growth Mindset
They will get access to a WhatsApp nano-course on “How to Grow Your Mindset” by the South African College of Applied Psychology
3. Daily Learning
For 30 days, they’ll get daily prompts with learning materials designed to improve their skills and grow their mindset
4. Opportunities
The most engaged and invested participants will be invited to apply for learnerships, jobs and bursaries
How you can help
RECRUIT
When given the choice, 87% of young South Africans choose to submit their job applications via WhatsApp as opposed to a website. This is because it’s more convenient and affordable.
We help our partners source, screen and shortlist the very best talent from 1000s of applications, in 48 hours.
LEARNERSHIPS
We’ll help you choose the right training provider, recruit the best talent and find a host employer if you can’t host the talent yourself.
100% of your learnerships spend will contribute to your BEE scorecard targets.

BURSARIES
Sponsor bursaries for existing or upcoming students and help grow the next generation of leaders in South Africa. We’ll find the best students, get their fee statements and handle the inbetween bits.
We believe that education is the one thing that can save the world – and young South Africans desperately need education. Do you?
100% of your bursary spend, including our management fee, will contribute to your BBBEE scorecard targets.
REWARDS
Get your brand in front of 350,000 young people.

Every individual has the ability to help reach our target of 67,000 educated and employed young people.
