Starting My Business
Do you dream of starting your own business? Do you think you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur?
A huge portion of our population is employed with a low income, long hours and/or very little work satisfaction. Others are unemployed and battle to find a job. Entrepreneurship can be the answer to many of these and other socio-economic issues in Southern Africa.
This online course will equip you with the necessary skills to start your own business, in your own time, customised to your own needs and aligned with your passion. This course is not an 'off - the - shelf' offering and is customised to serve your personal needs.
During the online course delegates also have the opportunity to constantly engage with other delegates that are in similar situations and have the same goals of starting a business. We focus on you and on helping you star your business successfully!
