The Umzi Wethu Livelihoods Programme aims to equip job seekers with the skills required to find work and to become valuable employees.

The Umzi Wethu Livelihoods Programme combines an established job readiness training programme (Work 4A Living) together with a comprehensive life skills programme. The life skills aspect of the programme takes a holistic approach to student wellness with a focus on HIV/AIDS and sexual and reproductive health, as well as environmental awareness. The environmental aspect is facilitated through 'green workshops' and links with other experiential education projects within the Wilderness Foundation.
