To our stakeholders, partners and advocates—thank you for believing in the transformative power of education. Together, we’re creating opportunities that drive socio-economic progress in South Africa. Here’s to a sustainable 2025! #EducationForImpact

The EM Education Trust, in partnership with Deviare, proudly implements the 'Map My Future' Digital Skills Development Programme at Motheo TVET College, in Bloemfontein. This transformative initiative upskills unemployed TVET graduates with high-demand skills in Data Science, preparing them for the future of work and the ever-evolving digital economy! This initiative targets students from underserved communities, empowering them to embrace the opportunities of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and contribute to a thriving digital economy. What makes this programme unique? Comprehensive 2-year journey of skill-building and work experience Globally benchmarked certifications Pathways to sustainable work placement and entrepreneurial opportunities Stipends for participants to support their learning journey Together, we can ensure no one is left behind as we transform challenges into success stories for South Africa's youth. #DigitalSkills #YouthEmpowerment #MapMyFuture #DataScience

Thanks to your support, we expanded postgraduate funding in STEM, launched new skills programmes, and empowered thousands of young innovators. Let’s make 2025 even brighter. #EMEducationTrust #FutureReadyLeaders #EmpoweringYouth #SkillsDevelopment #RenewableEnergy

South Africa’s energy sector is transforming, and the EM Education Trust is proud to be part of this journey. By equipping young people with renewable energy skills, we’re helping them power not only homes and businesses but also their futures. #RenewableEnergy #YouthEmpowerment #EMEducationTrust #RenewableEnergy

Together, we’re empowering South Africa’s workforce with future-ready skills through short courses in solar installations and maintenance—responding directly to market demands.   This partnership is a step closer to achieving a Just Energy Transition, equipping youth with high-demand skills for the renewable energy sector.   Let’s transform together! #EMEducationTrust #JustEnergyTransition #RenewableEnergy #HighDemandSkills

As we reflect on 2024, we’re proud of our mission to uplift young people, in particular, black women, people with disabilities, and marginalised communities through our targeted skills programmes. The future of energy is inclusive! #JustEnergyTransition #EmpoweringYouth

South Africa’s journey to a green economy isn’t just about sustainability—it’s about opportunity. This transition has the power to: 1. Tackle unemployment by creating new green jobs. 2. Promote sustainable development that uplifts communities. 3. Strengthen economic resilience for a brighter, more secure future. But to unlock this potential, we must bridge the green skills gap and equip our workforce with the tools to drive the Just Energy Transition. It’s time to invest in skills, empower people, and ensure no one is left behind in the green revolution. Let’s lead the change together! #energymobilityeducationtrust #EconomicResiliance #energytransition #greenjobs #greeneconomy

Recently, we shifted focus to funding postgraduate qualifications, particularly in emerging fields like renewable energy, data science, and machine learning. This shift addresses skill shortages and aligns with evolving industry needs, enhancing job readiness in fields crucial to South Africa’s economic growth.   This shift emphasizes our role in facilitating skills development opportunities and employment readiness among young people in our country.   #EnergyMobilityEducationTrust #SkillsDevelopment #EconomicGrowth #RenewableEnergy #DataScience #MachineLearning

Did you know?   According to the United Nations, 90% of the world’s electricity can and should come from renewable energy by 2050 (IRENA). Countries like Iceland are already leading the way, with nearly 100% of their electricity sourced from renewables today (UNEP). At the Energy Mobility Education Trust, we’re working to ensure South Africa is part of this global transformation. By investing in the education and skills development of young minds, we’re empowering future leaders to drive the renewable energy revolution and create a sustainable, equitable future for all.   Together, we can power a brighter, greener tomorrow! #RenewableEnergy #GreenEconomy #Education #SustainableFuture

At EM, our mission aligns closely with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and South Africa's National Development Plan (NDP).
