Youth for Technology Foundation (YTF)

Youth for Technology Foundation (YTF), an international non-profit, prepares students to enter a workforce that will be more global, more digital and more entrepreneurially focused, bridging the skills gap from secondary schools to universities and into employment or entrepreneurship. YTF teaches emerging and disruptive technologies through programmes like 3D Africa, which introduces human-centred design, 3D printing, robotics and internet of things to students in schools and in innovation corridors. Combining classroom, online and business development training with support from corporate partners, YTF’s programmes for underemployed and undereducated youth and for women entrepreneurs replace economic disparity with economic opportunity.
