Our Story

Since 2011, Lulaway has evolved from a job centre and work placement company to becoming an experienced and trusted project management company within the youth employment space in South Africa, where youth unemployment still hovers around 50%. Expanding our services to meet the growing needs of job seekers, we now deliver end-to-end project management with over 50 large-scale projects managed across seven specialized spheres. By facilitating Public Private Partnerships (PPP), leveraging advanced technology, streamlined recruitment, and transparent reporting, Lulaway continues to drive social change—one job at a time.

Our Mission

Lulaway sets out to transform youth unemployment in South Africa by acting as a bridge connecting job seekers, employers, and the public sector in meaningful and impactful ways. We provide accessible job opportunities as well as training that equips young people with the skills to not only secure, but also retain employment, driving lasting social impact and economic development.
Through this partnership with Lulaway we have seen over 1600 young people within a space of the year being placed in jobs!
