Centre for Entrepreneurship | Rapid Incubator [Sekhukhune TVET Collage]

WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE CENTRE MANAGER The Sekhukhune TVET College Centre for Entrepreneurship and Rapid Incubator warmly welcomes you to the new year and our ever-expanding community of dedicated and aspiring entrepreneurs. Reflecting on the remarkable achievements of 2024, we are filled with immense pride and gratitude for the progress we have made together. Establishing and running a business presents numerous challenges; however, with the right guidance, resources, and unwavering determination, your passion can flourish into a sustainable and successful venture. Our mission remains resolute: to empower self-reliant entrepreneurs and drive the growth of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). In doing so, we aim to strengthen the Sekhukhune District’s economy, alleviate poverty, and address the pressing challenge of youth unemployment. To Aspiring Entrepreneurs: Stepping into entrepreneurship marks a significant stride toward a brighter future for yourself and your community. The Centre is committed to equipping you with the knowledge, tools, and opportunities necessary to succeed. With a strong emphasis on innovative and technology-driven business development services, we are dedicated to accelerating the growth of globally competitive enterprises. To the Class of 2024 Graduates : I am incredibly proud of your resilience, dedication, and the positive impact you continue to create within your communities and nationally. As you apply the lessons from your incubation journey, I leave you with this inspiring thought:" Success is not owned, it is rented, and the rent is due every day." – Rory Vaden, a motivational speaker and author. It appears in his book Take the Stairs: 7 Steps to Achieving True Success. To Our Dedicated Staff: My heartfelt gratitude goes to our hardworking and committed team. Your unwavering dedication, tireless efforts, and passion for the Centre’s success are deeply appreciated and instrumental in our continued growth. Looking Ahead to 2025: As we step into this promising new year, I encourage all entrepreneurs to actively engage with the Centre. Attend our events, connect with members, share your business ideas, and seek guidance without hesitation. Starting a business is a journey that unfolds step by step, and we are here to support you at every stage. We are excited to welcome the 2025 cohort!

Our day began with an invigorating hiking adventure, designed to offer a unique blend of physical and mental renewal. This morning activity, among others, aimed to enhance mental clarity and focus, encouraging incubatees to reconnect with nature, clear their minds, and gain fresh perspectives. The day progressed with a startup-focused session where participants pitched their products or services to selected investors, fostering opportunities for potential returns on investment. We concluded with a team-building session, aimed at strengthening trust, improving communication, boosting collaboration, and sustaining motivation among the incubatees. #sekhukhunecferi #SekhukhuneTVET #Entrepreneurship #BootCamp

As we conclude the day, the incubatees took part in a paintball activity aimed at fostering camaraderie, building trust, and enhancing leadership skills. Through this dynamic and interactive experience, the focus was on strengthening team bonds and promoting collaboration. Teamwork thrives when individuals unite around a shared vision, laying the groundwork for collective growth and success. #sekhukhunecferi #SekhukhuneTVET #Entrepreneurship #BootCamp
