Resolve Group SA

Overview

Resolve Group Enterprise is a Johannesburg based not-for-profit entity, established in January 2020, aimed at creating sustainable job opportunities for the people facing barriers to employment.

It is estimated that 29,1% of our country’s working population are without jobs. More vulnerable in the job market are young people with approximately 8,2 million (40,1%) of South Africa’s 20,4 million young people between the age 15 to 34 years are unemployed and form a significant proportion of the discouraged and not in employment, education or training (NEET’s).

We believe it is through jobs that we can begin to address our country’s growing socio-economic challenges.

How We Do It

Resolve Group Enterprise develops and invest in scalable labour-intensive social enterprise ventures with a special focus on creating opportunities for at-risk youth (young people aged 15 – 24 years with lower levels of education from disadvantaged backgrounds who are less likely to transition successfully into adulthood. Success can include academic success and job readiness, as well as the ability to be financially independent.

Our social enterprise ventures are designed to be fully economically self-sustaining to minimize our dependency on government funding to provide meaningful employment opportunities for our program participants. These social enterprise ventures focus on providing needed products, services and solutions for businesses and consumers.

As a not-for-profit entity, we invest 100% our revenue to social upliftment initiatives, including upskilling our employees to move beyond Resolve Group Enterprise.
