Eskom’s Contractor Academy paves the way for emerging entrepreneurs to flourish

The Eskom Contractor Academy held its annual regional graduation ceremony on Friday, 12 July 2019 in Cape Town, wherein 14 budding entrepreneurs were recognised and rewarded for having completed a gruelling academic programme. This programme is aimed at assisting emerging contractors to grow their businesses, particularly within the energy space. The 8-month course, which ran from October 2018, required participants to attend a 1-week block session every month, where students were equipped with vital business skills that allow them to understand the business environments within which they operate, navigate their way around industry challenges, think out the box in finding solutions and channel their energy into success strategies.
