About Mr Price
Our Mission
We’re a youth development organisation empowering young South Africans through education and skills development. As youth journey from school into a career, we hope to see them break free from the cycle of poverty and inequality and reach their full potential.
Our Approach
Although we are a non-profit organisation, we steer our organisation with a business mindset founded on strong governance and financial controls. Monitoring and evaluation are critical, and we regularly engage with stakeholders to measure our programmes’ actual impact. Building a sustainable organisation is vital for our impact. We are creating a diverse and sustainable funding model to support our mission. Through generous resources from Mr Price Group, we can action change now.
Our Skills Development programmes unlock career potential and fast-track careers for unemployed youth in the retail value chain. By blending industry-specific theory, work experience and life skills, we bridge the gap between school/ tertiary education and the working world. We partner with local industry and employment partners to genuinely prepare youth for employment and connect them to career opportunities — a vital part of securing a job.** Starting with just one programme in 2007, we’ve expanded into many retail value chain programmes — in retail, manufacturing, and agriculture — progressing from entry-level to management. We measure success by how many people are employed, not trained. (References: *Stats SA; *** The Siyakha Youth Assets Study)
