The programme focuses on providing entrepreneurial skills to Grade 10 and 11 pupils to teach them to run ethical and successful businesses.
Nearly 100 Grade 11 learners,who are part of the Valued Citizens Initiative’s iValue Entrepreneurship Programme, from four public high schools in Gauteng are expected to pitch their business ideas at the University of Johannesburg on Thursday.
All three organisations are partners in the iValue Entrepreneurship Programme with Strate as the main funder and UJ supplying mentorship for the pupils through their second-year students doing a National Diploma in Small Business Management. According to the SME Landscape Report, an Assessment of South Africa’s SME Landscape: Challenges, Opportunities, Risks & Next Steps’ 2018/2019 launched last week, there was reason to be optimistic.
“As the learners run their businesses for a year, trust becomes instrumental within their teams and the running of their business.
