Jobortunity exists to transform the lives of youth in Tanzania by making them employable. We offer youth from vulnerable backgrounds, that otherwise wouldn't have access to education due to systemic barriers, an opportunity to change their trajectory. The impact Jobortunity has on youth has far reaching implications for the community and the nation - it helps to develop the economy, break the cycle of generational poverty, and create a talent pipeline for employers. Tanzania faces a massive youth unemployment problem. According to the statistics, only 2 out of 100 youth in Tanzania attain employment after schooling (Source: Prime Minister's Office - Jobs, Youth, Employment and people with disabilities, Mwananchi Data, 2019). However, employers report that they struggle to find qualified employees and their retention rate is very low. When we began to study this situation in 2008, this equation didn't add up. We identified that the root of the problem is a skills gap i.e. youth lack the knowledge, skills and especially the attitude for employment - youth in general are untrained in the 21st century skills required to obtain and retain a job in the modern workplace. Therefore, Jobortunity has developed an approach to fill this skills gap and teach 21st century skills to youth from vulnerable and challenging backgrounds. Our 3H (Head, Hands & Heart) and Hi5 approaches instill the skills needed for youth to successfully engage with the constantly changing professional world. For the past 11 years, Jobortunity youth have become self-reliant, are employable, and retain jobs. More than on average 75% of our graduates obtain a decent job and remain employed. Moreover, the feedback from employers is positive and they continue to request and hire our graduates. Communities have also reaped far-reaching benefits. Every person with a job supports at least 3 to 5 family members, and many of our graduates have been able to return home to help build infrastructure to benefit the community at large. Graduates feel professionally fulfilled in their working environment and live balance and meaningful lives. Our mission is that disadvantaged youth aged 18 to 25 secure decent employment in companies, feel professionally fulfilled in their working environment and live balanced and meaningful lives. In addition, we contribute to overcome the skills gap between youth (with and without formal education) and companies' employability needs. We provide companies with professional staff to strengthen the service industry in Tanzania. Our wider vision is that these young people can provide a dignified livelihood for themselves, they support their families and impact their communities in a positive and sustainable manner.

We envision a future where Tanzanian communities are well informed and educated, economically empowered and progressively achieves sustainable development goals as well as attains Tanzania development vision.
