New class of hometown interns embarks on adventure - Norfolk Daily News
Hometown interns began the summer at a retreat in Keith County where they connected with their peers and learned about asset-based community development, an approach to development that focuses on identifying and leveraging the strengths and assets within a community. Over the course of the summer, they worked alongside their supervisors and other members of their local affiliated fund on a mission to discover and unleash the assets in their community. “This internship isn't just about gaining experience,” said Becky Boesen, NCF community and cultural impact specialist. “It's designed to be a journey of self-discovery and shared growth. Together, we'll explore roads less taken, lift up hidden assets, celebrate the uniqueness of our places and co-create an experience alongside local affiliated funds that will add value to the future of both students and their communities.”

Though a traditional university degree can increase job prospects, factors like cost, time commitment, and location often make it inaccessible. Furthermore, 35,5% of young South Africans are NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training), further compounding the problem. “A means to reducing this is through online micro-credentials, which are compact courses certifying specific skills and knowledge that can overcome these barriers by providing young people with access to learning, thereby improving their chances of employability,” says Dr Andrew Dickson, engineering executive at CBI-electric: low voltage.
