South Africa is a nation with a 32.6% unemployment rate and a worrying 46.3% youth unemployment rate. The Central University of Technology, Free State (CUT), addresses these issues through an IT student exchange programme with German partners. This initiative enhances employability and gives CUT students a competitive edge in South Africa's job market, offering hope and a model for the future of international education and employability in Africa and the rest of the world.
