Education, training and learning cannot be limited to the confines of classrooms. Majority of the young population in Africa live, learn and work in informality. These young people are predominantly excluded from the formal learning, education and training systems. However, there is a strong need and desire for young people to access learning, education and training opportunities in order to improve their livelihood opportunities. How do we then cater for the learning needs of young people in an ever-changing world?

Amongst the various initiatives is the YOMA which stands for Youth Market Place, Aka Youth Agency Marketplace. YOMA is a networked, open source, ecosystem of opportunities. It is a digital platform that gives youth access to learning opportunities, skills development opportunities and learn to earn opportunities. YOMA is a hosting platform for diverse partners to list opportunities for learning and creating impact.

If you are an NGO or a learning and training institution you can host your learning and training opportunities on the YOMA platform. These opportunities can be accessed by all young people across the African continent and globally. If your institution wants to expand and upscale it reach of learning opportunities, then you can host your learning opportunities on the YOMA platform.

For young people wanting to access learning opportunities, the YOMA is an ecosystem that host all your learning opportunities in one place. This makes the learning opportunities accessible to a young person and enables you to create a digital CV whilst engaging with the various learning opportunities.

Please spread the word and share with other young people who are in need of learning, training and skills development opportunities.
