Our Purpose & Mission

Building Brighter Futures

At the core of GLE is a belief that true empowerment comes from nurturing the head, heart, and hands of each young person. A brighter future requires more than job skills — it demands a holistic approach to growth. Our mission is to equip youth with knowledge (head) to understand the world, confidence (heart) to pursue their dreams, and skills (hands) to build a sustainable, fulfilling life.

Head

We provide knowledge through workshops and learning experiences that build essential skills and open minds to new possibilities.

Heart

We foster resilience, confidence, and a sense of purpose, helping young people see their value and realise their potential.

Hands

We offer real-world experience and training, empowering youth to take meaningful action toward a sustainable career and future.

Our Program: A Path to Lifelong Success

More Than Just Job Training

We go beyond the typical job placement—our program empowers young adults to become leaders, creators, and change makers.

Recruitment & Opportunity Matching

We carefully select young people, ages 18-34, aligning each with opportunities that resonate with their passions and strengths.

Holistic Training

Our training combines foundational skills, digital and financial literacy, communication, and teamwork, providing the knowledge and confidence needed to excel.

12-Month Practical Work Experience

Real-world experience in schools and community settings, with stipends for sustainable support.

Personalised Support

Individualised mentorship, bi-weekly check-ins, and access to wellness resources ensure every participant is set up for success.

Experiential Learning

Field visits, industry connections, and nature retreats inspire big dreams and build resilience.

A Step Ahead

Upon graduation, each participant is equipped with a professional CV, reference letters, certificates, and a clear path forward.

Vision & Impact: Transforming Lives, Strengthening Communities

Creating Lasting Change Beyond Employment

Our vision is to ignite hope and opportunity in Bitou Municipality and beyond. By developing skills, confidence, and community ties, we’re building a foundation for lifelong success—one young person at a time.

Community Focused

Our program was created with local voices, listening to families, and engaging with leaders to make sure every step reflects the real needs of the community.

Collaborative Ecosystem

By partnering with schools, businesses, nonprofits, and government agencies, we create a strong network that supports each participant and benefits the whole community.

Driving Systemic Change

We tackle the root causes of unemployment, fostering resilience and bridging gaps between education and the workplace to bring lasting, systemic change.
