Why Polokwane?
Polokwane is a hub of vibrance and rich cultural diversity. Even with the high youth unemployment challenge, it remains a city full of hope and opportunity.
Why agriculture in Polokwane?
There are about 41 867 agricultural households in Polokwane. With agriculture being the primary job creator in our economy, it makes sense for us to partner with Agri Enterprises to shift farming from a small interest to a successful everyday income generator for young people in the region. We’re giving 20 participants in Polokwane the opportunity to become the first ever Metropolitan Collective Shapers - by being part of a programme that will leave them with skills to help them succeed in agriculture.
Why youth?
We believe that investing in our youth is investing in the future. When we support young people to become tomorrow’s employers, the whole community is uplifted.
At Metropolitan, our passion for empowering the youth to uplift our communities is exactly why we’re also involved in initiatives like the Youth Content Collective (YCC), which allows young people to use their creative skills to earn an income.
