IN a bold move to bridge the skills gap and empower the future leaders of South Africa, New Leaf Technologies announces the launch of its pioneering Youth Empowerment Platform (YEP).
This innovative e-learning initiative is set to transform how young adults, aged 16 to 25, gain access to essential life skills that extend beyond the traditional classroom setting with the aim to equip and inspire them to excel in an increasingly competitive job market.
YEP features expertly designed content and curated top-tier courses that prepare youth for both personal and professional success. By offering this programme free of charge, New Leaf Technologies ensures that all young individuals can benefit from this transformative e-learning experience. From financial management to navigating the professional landscape,
YEP provides the essential resources needed for a brighter future.
With cutting-edge eLearning technology, this platform guarantees a seamless, accessible, and engaging learning experience for all participants.
Real-life learning, tangible impact
YEP goes beyond theory, focusing on real-world skills that learners can immediately apply. For example, the Personal Finance & Budgeting course does more than just explain basic savings concepts; it provides a detailed guide to budgeting, understanding credit, and managing debt. This course directly addresses the financial challenges many young people face today.
The Workplace Readiness course prepares learners for the critical transition from education to the workforce, covering everything from CV writing to mastering job interviews and workplace etiquette. This course also includes interactive scenarios and exercises that bring the lessons to life.
Seamless learning, anytime, anywhere
YEP’s mobile-responsive design ensures learners can access content from any device—desktop, tablet, or smartphone—making learning flexible and convenient, no matter where they are.
Powering the platform’s course creation and delivery is Articulate, a suite of intuitive, multimedia-friendly tools that make creating engaging courses simple and efficient. With Articulate, educators can design everything from quizzes and interactive simulations to immersive, multimedia-rich experiences that really captivate learners and encourage genuine comprehension.
Here’s why Articulate is an ideal tool for YEP:
- Course Authoring Tools: Create engaging multimedia content, including videos, audio, text, quizzes, and more, to craft dynamic learning experiences.
- Student Enrolment and Management Tools: Streamline the enrolment process and manage student progress with built-in tools for easy administration.
- Progress Tracking and Reporting: The learner can track progress, monitor course completion, and generate insightful reports to ensure success.

A free and accessible platform for all
One of the standout features of YEP is that it offers an exceptional course offering that is free to access for all young learners. This removes financial barriers, giving every young person the opportunity to access valuable skills and training.
