Johannesburg, South Africa – May 9, 2025 — SayPro, a prominent leader in education and skills development, has joined forces with global consulting firm Accenture to launch a targeted Financial Management training initiative for 1,500 individuals in Johannesburg. The program is designed to build foundational and practical financial skills, enabling participants to take control of their finances, support their families, and contribute to the local economy.
This partnership represents a shared commitment to empowering underserved communities in Johannesburg, particularly young people, women, job seekers, and informal entrepreneurs who face barriers to financial education and economic participation.
Program Overview
Through this collaborative initiative, participants will receive structured training on key financial topics including:
- Personal budgeting and money management
- Understanding and managing debt and credit
- Basic financial planning and setting financial goals
- Introduction to savings and investments
- Business finance for entrepreneurs and small businesses
The training will be delivered using a hybrid learning model that includes both online modules and in-person sessions at community hubs and training centers throughout Johannesburg. This approach ensures accessibility for participants from all areas of the city, including Soweto, Alexandra, Orange Farm, and inner-city neighborhoods.
A Local Solution for Local Challenges
“In Johannesburg, many people struggle with limited access to financial education, which affects their ability to plan, save, or grow a business,” said a spokesperson from SayPro. “This initiative with Accenture is about changing that. We are providing people with the tools they need to take charge of their financial future.”
Accenture brings to the partnership its globally recognized Skills to Succeed initiative, which focuses on equipping individuals with job-ready skills and economic opportunity. The company has invested extensively in education and youth development across South Africa, and this new collaboration with SayPro marks a major milestone in its commitment to inclusive economic development.
“We are excited to partner with SayPro to make a meaningful impact in Johannesburg,” said an Accenture South Africa representative. “We believe financial literacy is a key enabler of dignity, independence, and long-term prosperity.”
Empowering 1,500 Participants — and Beyond
Participants will receive a certificate of completion, and those who excel may be connected to further development opportunities, mentorship, or job placement support. The program is designed to have both immediate and long-term benefits by enabling individuals to make smarter financial decisions, avoid debt traps, and invest in their future.
This initial rollout in Johannesburg is the first phase of a broader national strategy. SayPro and Accenture plan to expand the program to other cities and provinces, ultimately impacting thousands more across South Africa.
