What they ask for

Get ready to apply

Built only from what this listing states.

The application takes real work, by our reading.

1. What to get ready

The listing does not say what it needs. When you open their page, write down everything it asks for before you start.

2. Dates

  • No closing date is stated.
  • Openings with no closing date can close once they have enough people, so sooner is safer. Our advice

Download checklist (.txt) Send to WhatsApp

The download is a small text file. You can read it later without data. It also lists each condition they set, so you can tick yourself against them. WhatsApp sends the same list to you, or to somebody helping you.

Tips for applying for a programme

General advice from us, the same for every programme. It is not what this organisation says; that is above.

  • Check the dates and the time it needs. Programmes often need you at set times, and missing sessions can mean losing your place.
  • Say plainly what you want from it and what you will do with it after.
  • If it asks about a project or business, describe what exists today, not only what you hope for.

If there is an interview or a test

  • Expect to be asked why now, and what you will do if you are not chosen.
  • Be ready to describe your project in two minutes, in plain words.

All our tips and messages to copy. Practise answering, with nothing kept. Received an offer? Check whether it is real, then read before you say yes.

How to apply

You apply on Umthombo Youth Development Foundation's own website, not here. We never send an application for anybody and we never ask you for anything to pass on. Check their page for anything not shown here.
