In Jobortunity everything comes in fives and since tourists in Tanzania are always looking for the Big 5, we present to you: The Jobortunity Big 5!

These are the five pillars of the social enterprise and the vision of Jobortunity as an organisation:

1. ‘WHAT’. Jobortunity is a training institute for vulnerable youth. The mission of Jobortunity is to provide these youngsters with a 10-month training focusing on development of employability skills. It enables them to obtain and retain jobs in the Tanzanian hospitality sector.

2. ‘WHY’. Large numbers of young Tanzanians live on the street selling fruit, firewood or themselves to make a living. Many lack education opportunities, experience and the right skills/attitude. At the same time, hotels and restaurants struggle to provide good service to their clients.

Jobortunity aims to bridge the gap between uneducated young people and the need for adequate staff in hotels and restaurants. The organisation does so by translating the needs of the hospitality sector into a (Hi5) training programme.

3. ‘WHO’. Jobortunity trains young people in the age of 17-23 lacking the means to attend secondary school and without enough skills to obtain a decent job. Students should be literate, have a basic knowledge of English and, most importantly, they should be motivated to work in the hospitality sector and take control of their own lives and future.

4. ‘WHERE & WHEN’. The Jobortunity Training Institute is located in Moivaro village in the suburbs of Arusha town. It uses the conference building of Moivaro Lodge. On the 16^th of November the first Training of Youth (TOY) Programme started with a group of 40 students, of which all graduated in October 2010. In August 2010 a second group of 40 students enrolled in the training program.

‘HOW’. Jobortunity trainers use two approaches developed by founder Kim Groeneweg. Both approaches focus on personal development of students: (1) the ‘3H’ Training Method and (2) the ‘Hi5’ Approach.
