Foundation sets out to sharpen business skills
Black entrepreneurs invited to apply for the 2017 Tholoana Enterprise Programme
THE SAB Foundation is inviting local black entrepreneurs to apply for the 2017 Tholoana Enterprise Programme to help ‘up their business game’.
It is a two-year course for viable black-owned businesses to benefit from a combination of expert mentorship, skills training workshops, access to markets and qualified investment readiness support.
Tholoana primarily supports enterprises that benefit or are run by women, the youth and those living in rural and peri-urban areas.
A particular focus this year is to create opportunities for entrepreneurs with disability, who are encouraged to apply.
‘We offer committed candidates an incredible opportunity to take their business to the next level,’ said SAB Foundation Manager, Bridgit Evans
‘Our partnership with small business growth professionals, Fetola, boosts the long-term sustainability of the participants in our programme, making it a highly impactful and sought-after solution for promising South African small businesses.’
More than 100 emerging entrepreneurs have accelerated their success since the business support programme commenced in 2015.
Business owners whose enterprises have been in operation for at least six months and less than five years are eligible for consideration.
Applications close at 12pm on 15 March.
