Excellent news for unemployed South African youth who love working with children! Applications have officially opened for the Early Childhood Development (ECD) Youth Programme on the SA Youth platform.

This structured initiative is designed to give young people entry-level access to the education sector. Successful candidates will be placed in local crèches, daycares, and preschools to support early childhood education while earning a monthly stipend and gaining valuable work experience.
