One of our brand pillars is to “empower the youth’’. Therefore, we have positioned ourselves intentionally in a way that allows us to solely employ young South Africans on a part-time basis.
Their work within our organization may empower them with 1% skills development in a day, which may seem insignificant. However, we believe that by December 2018, our young team would be on almost 365% skills development, which is way better than 100% growth.
With the responsibilities we have given them – we have ensured that they are empowered in the following ways:
- We offer an environment that fosters skills development to five young women and one young man.
- They’re exposed to role models who are succeeding in the STEM fields.
- We promote and facilitate Black Economic Empowerment and Affirmative Action for black youth.
As Bashumi Instruments and Control Services, we are there for young people from underprivileged communities to be exposed to parts of the STEM industries, as employees, because we endeavor to empower the youth with skills and a mindset shift that allows them to innovate and lead positive lives.
