The Seeds of Change Enterprise and Supplier Development Programme is an intervention aimed at growing sustainable businesses that seed new economic activity, create job opportunities and generate long-term value, resulting in local economic growth. This is achieved through a vigorous search and selection process, aligning the entrepreneur with one of the three stages of our programme; Incubation, Consolidation or Acceleration. Each stage is specific to the entrepreneur's development needs. Our programme focusses on providing effective and impactful business skills training, mentorship & coaching and access to business services, markets and interest free seed capital. The ultimate goal of our programme is to unlock shared value creating a win-win solution for our BBBEE Donors as well as for the Entrepreneurial Partner Businesses linking them into Supplier Chain Networks.
