Our Impact
With 15 years experience of investing in young players’ lives, we believe that we will be sending our graduates out into other great opportunities. These can include playing for professional football teams in South Africa or abroad, pursuing further education and skills training, or accepting gainful employment. Our end goal is to see these men and women become the fathers and mothers, leaders, and role models that their communities so desperately need.
Professional Football
The investment in elite football leads to many of our players pursuing professional football, which gives the graduate a larger platform from which to inspire. We have seen players play for the youth national teams and in the professional leagues in South Africa and in Europe. We encourage every graduate pursuing this to think about what they will do after their professional career as part of their Dual Dream.
Tertiary Education
With our focus on education, we hope that all of our graduates are prepared for and will pursue some type of further studies and lifelong learning. We are seeing players attending and playing for universities in the U.S. and in South Africa while working or playing professionally.
Quality Employment
The main goal of our pathways program is that each student would be gainfully employed throughout their life to provide financial security and to learn the duty of providing for oneself and one’s family. We are seeing players pursue careers of working in schools, as coaches, as police officers, as asset managers and more.
