Despite the gains from South Africa’s democracy, considerable work needs to to be done to ensure we develop an educated workforce that will not only seek employment but also create jobs through entrepreneurial opportunities.

Yet South Africa is facing a critical challenge of high youth unemployment, with over 60% of 15-24-year-olds struggling to find meaningful employment. This issue impacts the nation’s social fabric and threatens its future stability.

Integrating entrepreneurial programmes in the education curriculum can enable learners to gain the know-how of solving societal problems so that they can develop solutions to alleviate poverty, reduce unemployment and improve their environmental wellbeing even after they have exited the education system without matric.

At Future Nation College, we recognise the importance of equipping teachers with how to teach entrepreneurship in the classroom to equip our youth with essential skills for their and our country’s future. That’s why we offer a series of exceptional project-based Venture Creation Short Courses that not only enhances teachers’ skills but also provides Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points to educators.
