Vocational education and training (VET) can play a crucial role in tackling many of the most pressing challenges that Africa is faced with today, such as competitiveness, youth unemployment, and social inclusion.
To put the VET-sector in the best possible position to do so, it is crucial to increase the quality and attractiveness of VET. PurplePatch offers employability programmes to unemployed rural youth, poor urban youth, Persons with Disabilities (PwDs), youth with below poverty line demographics, women including adolescent girls and youth from socially disadvantaged groups and creates a corporate-ready workforce. We bridge the gap between millions of jobs opportunities across multiple sectors and the skills of the available workforce.

This stark difference is due to lack of technical and soft skills. Paucity of highly trained workforce, as well as non-employability of large sections of the conventionally educated youth, who possess limited job skills are the dual challenges to be addressed to reap the demographic dividend.
We aim to enhance the skills of millions of youth across African country's and empower them with livelihood linked skilling programs. To build an inclusive, enabled and skilled society by skilling youth and providing employment in identified core sectors including Retail, Automobile, Hospitality, Health Care, Building and Construction, Telecom and Beauty & Wellness to name a few.
