The programme draws on industry knowledge and skills imperative -along with IYF curricula enhancement tools- to strengthen the market relevance of select public TVET courses with South African Automotive Industries. In addition, High Gear seeks to generate enthusiasm from TVET educators and industry, while also generating positive returns for young people and employers through the programme’s delivery.

The UK Government’s Skills for Prosperity Programme is funding High Gear Implementation in KwaZulu-Natal Province, and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Michael Susan Dell Foundation are funding implementation in Eastern Cape Province.  All three funding partners are supporting High Gear’s national stakeholder engagement and learning efforts.
