Tell Me About Award: The National Rural Youth Service Corps (NARYSEC) Programme, which was established
in September 2010, is one of the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development’s (DALRRD) contributions towards alleviating the high levels of unemployment among young people in rural areas.

Linked to the National Development Plan (Vision 2030) and Comprehensive Rural Development Programme (CRDP), the primary objectives of the NARYSEC Programme are as follows:

• Recruiting unemployed rural youth as part of the District Development Model and other approved government programmes and initiatives, working with provinces, the private sector, municipalities and local traditional councils;
• Building the capacity of rural youth through various skills development interventions;
• Facilitating the transitioning of the recruited youth to participate in economic activities; and
• Providing post-programme support to the youth who have exited the programme and linking them to economic opportunities.

The NARYSEC Programme is recruiting for 2023/2024. Intakes will be in August 2023 and October 2023.

Skills development opportunities will be provided to unemployed rural youth. The nature and duration of these skills development opportunities will be determined by the skills requirements of the identified exit opportunities (jobs or enterprise development) that the youth have been recruited for in a specific province and district municipality.
