Why

The Hi5 Approach?

Breaking the cycle of generational poverty

At Jobortunity, we believe that we are both part of the challenges in our communities and part of the solution. That’s why the Hi5 approach is proactive, equipping young people with the skills they need to become employable, self-sufficient, and accountable. As they grow, so do the lives of those who depend on them—helping to break the cycle of generational poverty. With Hi5 training, many youth not only secure jobs but also create new income opportunities for their families, easing the burdens of poverty. The impact is profound: they gain financial independence, build meaningful relationships, and continue to develop personally and professionally. At Jobortunity, we don’t just train youth—we empower them to change their future.

Creating a talent pipeline for employers

The Hi5 approach, developed by Jobortunity in Arusha, bridges the skills gap by equipping youth with the professional attitudes and 21st-century skills needed for both employment and entrepreneurship. This innovative model not only prepares young professionals for the job market but also helps them connect effectively with the world around them. For employers in Tanzania, the Hi5 approach serves as a reliable talent pipeline—enabling companies to recruit well-trained, professional staff while also upskilling their current workforce. By fostering both individual and institutional growth, Hi5 empowers businesses to maximize their potential and thrive.

Developing the economy in Tanzania

At Jobortunity, we empower young people from vulnerable and challenging backgrounds by equipping them with the skills they need to become professional, employable staff. Through our Hi5—21st Century Skills Training Program, youth gain the opportunity to build a brighter future. By helping young people (ages 18–25) secure decent employment, we contribute directly to Tanzania’s economic growth. With more jobs created and incomes improved, individuals thrive, businesses benefit, and communities grow stronger. Our graduates not only find meaningful careers but also develop the confidence and skills to excel in their workplaces, leading balanced and fulfilling lives.

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