Development

In the spirit of innovation and responding creatively to ongoing needs, we have many products in incubation. At present we are working on a Tourism training course called Welcome World funded by SAA; a further module for our AgriPlanner course further funded by Coronation Fund Managers... watch this space.

We have a passion for learning, we do it all the time! We are on a restless quest to find better and simpler ways of making life easier for learners who are often baffled by the complexities of layers of life, and confusing expectations that confront them.

We love life and believe that all people should be able to have a crack at finding meaning and fulfilment in what they do from day to day.
Nothing thrills us more than firing up a group of eager learners with light bulbs popping in their heads and cheering them on as they get motivated to become voracious and unstoppable discoverers for themselves.

We believe that entrepreneurship is about seizing the day, doing it for yourself. It’s about putting yourself firmly in the responsibility seat with a repetitive mantra of “If it’s going to be, it’s up to me!” ringing in your ears. It’s not about the money, (though that is one important aspect of entrepreneurship), it is more about seeing gaps dripping with potential and being filled with the passion to fill those gaps and make a make a difference.

As true entrepreneurs we are constantly scanning our environment to find gaps that are crying out to be filled and have their potential exploited to the full.

At present in a transforming South Africa there are countless opportunities.

We see huge gaps...

  • in an education sector that is bumbling in crisis and desperately in need of new approaches.
  • in creating proactive opportunities for disillusioned youth,
  • in finding positive solutions for the seething discontent of the unemployed.
  • in opening up the world of business to hungry learners
  • in offering pathways to frustrated people seeking a more meaningful life

We will continue to search out ways of turning these needs into positive and profitable products, outcomes and solutions.

At present we are developing entrepreneurship products for agriculture and crafters.
