Our take on enriching Youth and Skills Development in South Africa.
EPF Tech Fund
We are a Venture Builder impacting Youth, Technology, and Entrepreneurship across the African continent.
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.
The EPF Innovation Campus in partnership with MICT SETA since March 2022 has embarked on a journey to improve the lives of 30 #ict students by offering a work integrated learning (WIL) program where students are actively involved in developing technology for clients, thus gaining real world work experience and developing skills.
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.
