Students get entrepreneurship grooming

The Student Entrepreneurship Week (SEW) 2018 is a key project in the Entrepreneurship Development in Higher Education (EDHE) programme, a partnership between the Department of Higher Education and Training, and Universities South Africa (USAf).

This project aims to raise student awareness of entrepreneurship as a career and a means to participate in the mainstream economy, while creating much-needed jobs. 

SEW 2018, as a month-long event throughout August, was hosted at various universities and TVET colleges throughout the country.

Prof Antonites is also a senior lecturer at the Gordon Institute of Business.  He started and heads the UP Business Incubator that is currently developing a number of new innovative start-ups.
