As South Africa marks Youth Day, high school learners in Cape Town are being encouraged to take advantage of an opportunity that could help shape their future careers and entrepreneurial ambitions.
Applications for the 2026 iAccelerate SA entrepreneurship programme close on July 4, with organisers urging eligible learners to submit their applications before the deadline.
The programme, aimed at Grade 9 to Grade 11 learners attending public schools in the Cape Town region, focuses on developing entrepreneurial thinking, leadership skills and innovation through a structured four-month journey.
The initiative comes at a time when youth unemployment remains one of South Africa’s most pressing challenges, with increasing emphasis being placed on equipping young people with practical skills that can help them create opportunities for themselves.
