About MoveUp

Youth unemployment has left 6 million young people in South Africa without work.

Existing programmes to address the youth unemployment problem are expensive and difficult to scale, underscoring the need for a radically different approach - rethinking how talent is sourced, measured and matched.

The Reach Trust and Nedbank have partnered to produce a technology solution with a localised approach to connect young talent with work opportunities in the digital age in South Africa.

MoveUp helps first-time job seekers to:

• learn new skills that improve their employability,
• build a SmartCV that is accessible anywhere, anytime,

MoveUp helps entry-level recruiters and employers to:

• easily sort and filter through applications online,
• view all CVs in a streamlined and standardised format,
• and to shortlist suitable candidates.

With MoveUp, our aim is to close the skills gap and unlock personal potential through mobile technology that is easy to access and use
