KAS x SAIIA Careers Event 2024

Formative Futures

Youth unemployment in South Africa remains a critical issue, with recent statistics indicating a staggering 45,5% unemployment rate among youth (15- 35 years old). The situation is particularly acute for those holding humanities degrees, who may face the misconception that their educational background lacks practical value in the job market. However, in a world marked by rapid digitalisation, climate change, and shifting geopolitical landscapes, the skills cultivated through humanities education are more essential than ever.
