Beyond funding, over 7,000 businesses have received training, coaching, and mentoring, resulting in the creation of over 50,000 jobs for young people.<\/p>\n<p>Absa\u2019s sustainability agenda also includes long-term investment in youth development. In 2025, the bank supported 1.7 million young people through the ReadytoWork programme with skills in employability, entrepreneurship, money management, and creative thinking. <\/p>\n<p>Complementing this, the Money Matters financial literacy initiative helped 126,000 students across the country build practical skills in budgeting, saving, and responsible financial behaviour this year.<\/p>\n<p>The annual Marketing World Awards honour organisations and individuals whose work demonstrates innovation, strategic thinking, and strong value delivery in marketing and communications.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <div class=\"booster-block booster-reactions-block\">\n            <div class=\"twp-reactions-icons\">\n                \n                <div
