As part of a FirstJob Internship programme, where the College hosts a number of interns across its various departments each year, it also helps facilitate the training and development of these interns. Included here is the Rise-preneurship training, which this year ran from 22-30 June and which was sponsored by the FirstJob programme.
The FirstJob programme supports the interns in small business development and in so doing encourages them to participate in the Rise-preneurship programme. This year 50 interns were selected from various host organisations including the SAWC, where six interns participated under the facilitation of Linda Lubbe.
The following interns from the College were selected:
- Bongiwe Hlabane SAWC RISE department : Business name: Bee’s Archaar
