Our Areas of Focus

SAIE has always been focused on creating a positive impact in the areas that matter the most. Our main areas of focus are those fields that are critical for ensuring positive economic growth for South Africa.

Entrepreneurship

 

SAIE provides the most innovative, effective, simulation based entrepreneurial programmes aimed at the unemployed and individuals interested in starting a business venture.

 

Agriculture

 

Our agricultural programmes focus on empowering individuals and communities with limited or no farming experience through simulation based, sustainable Agri- entrepreneurship projects.

Education (Entrepreneurship in schools)

Our curriculum-aligned, simulation-based education (entrepreneurship in Schools) programme focuses on developing entrepreneurial mindsets in grade 2 to grade 12 learners by empowering teachers and providing innovative materials to facilitate entrepreneurial learning. Learning entrepreneurial skills at an early age will help children and teenagers to prepare for changing times and unpredictable career paths.

Life and Emotional Skills

 

This programme is ideal for equipping the youth with the competencies required to tackle 21st century social– economic challenges such as unemployment, substance abuse, career choices, gender base violence and others.
