Why

The Hi5 Approach?

Breaking the cycle of generational poverty

We at Jobortunity believe that we are as much part of the solutions as we are part of the challenges in our communities. So the Hi5 approach is proactive, aiming to solve those challenges. Because the youth become employable and learn self-sufficiency and accountability, their lives and those of those depending on them improve. This helps break the cycle of generational poverty. Many of the youths are able to provide new income generation for their families and alleviate some of the burdens that poverty piles on their families. It’s amazing how well the youth who are Hi5 trained do in their lives because they are able to become financially independent individuals, successfully interact with others, and develop.

Creating a talent pipeline for employers

The Hi5 approach was designed and developed by Jobortunity in Arusha to tackle the skills gap, prepare youth for the job market and entrepreneurship, and support them in connecting effectively with the world around them. The Hi5 approach, emphasizing professional attitude (21st century skills), creates a talent pipeline for employers in Tanzania, for it enables companies to hire professional staff and train their current staff so that they can maximize their potential and grow as institutions and individuals.

Developing the economy in Tanzania

Jobortunity works with youth from vulnerable and challenging backgrounds to create professional and employable staff. Through the Hi5—21st Century Skills Training program, youth are given an opportunity for a better life. This directly impacts the economy of our country, Tanzania, in that jobs are attained and incomes are increased through those jobs. The lives of young people are affected in the best way possible as youth aged 18 to 25 secure decent employment in companies, feel professionally fulfilled in their working environment, and live balanced and meaningful lives.

Why Hi5 is

The key to life

Jobortunity uses two core approaches: 3H and Hi5, emphasizing 21st century skills and the personal development of individuals. These approaches are used with youth, teachers, employees, managers, etc.

All students’ development is recorded, and analyses are done using a Hi5 tracking system. Jobortunity developed more than 100 training lessons.
