Our take on enriching Youth and Skills Development in South Africa.

As South Africa's leading Venture Builder, we invest in innovative technologies, Youth empowerment, Skills Development and Entrepreneurs. Our focus as a black-led tech fund is on funding sustainable tech solutions that positively impact the lives of the youth in South Africa and the African continent.

The execution of our vision is seen in the EPF Innovation Campus, a software development house under the Empire Partner Foundation. The Innovation Campus focuses on building technology that encourages business growth and improves efficiency in management processes. Their mandate is to improve youth skills development and provide access to a work learning ecosystem.

Progress Reporting Tool

To showcase the improvement of skills and growth tracking, under the leadership of Senior Developers, the students developed a Progress Reporting platform. The platform provides the SETA, the university and the host company with a digital view of the WIL programme. These stakeholders now have proof that interns skills are being developed. The platform is able to host multiple internship programmes.
