PROVEN METHODS 03 SHARING OUR MODELS
Besides the holistic approach and mobile training, we have the unique UNESCO- approved Franchise model that can financially sustain TVET institutions . The aim of the franchise business model is to shape every skills training and production unit into a viable, self-reliant enterprise with the capacity to generate wealth and jobs for the community while training youth on the job. Young Africa invests in a TVET centre, and each training unit is rented out to a local entrepreneur, ‘the franchisee’. Rental fees from franchisees cover operating costs, thereby contributing to the operational sustainability of the centre.

THE ENTREPRENEUR
THE CENTRE
THE STUDENT Young people - students - pay a modest fee for training, most of which goes to franchisees who deliver the training at a well- equipped business unit within the centre. It all starts with a student, who participates in production and acquires job skills on the job, paying fees for the training. More than 80% of the fee goes to the entrepreneur who delivers the training. The student learns from this role model and after their course, they participate in internships off-campus in a different setting.
THE ENTREPRENEUR The entrepreneur is a key part of the model who trains youths on the job, acts as entrepreneurial role model for youths, works with students to produce and sell goods and services to the local market, creates jobs, participates in imparting job skills to the youths in our communities.
THE CENTRE Young Africa is responsible for establishing and fully equipping the training centre, including all necessary facilities and production workshops, which serve both as learning spaces and income- generating units. YA oversees and manages the day-to-day operations, ensuring the quality of training is maintained across all programmes. It sets tuition fees, develops strategic partnerships with local authorities and industry players to facilitate internships and job placements, and delivers all complementary services, such as life skills education, entrepreneurship training, wellness support, digital literacy, and career guidance—to ensure holistic youth development.
