Entrepreneurship key to local job creation
George Herald
|George Herald
The launch of the third edition of The Entrepreneur's business accelerator programme on the Garden Route on Thursday 19 June saw George Airport manager Brenda Vorster express the Airport Company South Africa's (Acsa) passion for building young businesses.
"We want local suppliers, and we want small businesses to thrive," she said.
Acsa's transformation and socio-economic development specialist, Kgomotso Aphane, lauded the programme and its success as a milestone for the Garden Route. She highlighted entrepreneurship as the key to eradicating unemployment and to grow our society and our community.
Proudly presented by the George Business Chamber and partners, including Acsa, George Herald, Algoa FM, Nelson Mandela University, AHI Western Cape, Envestpro, and AP Business Coaching and Consulting, the programme will commence on 26 July and run until the end of October, with tuition sessions taking place on Saturday mornings between 09:00 and 13:00.
