Interning at PPS during the pandemic
September 9
The start of 2020 signalled the beginning of new journeys as a group of recent graduates were preparing to transition into the world of work.
With a firm belief in the power of education, the PPS Foundation is working tirelessly to create a brighter future for South Africa. Together, we are building a society where education is accessible to all, unlocking doors of opportunity and fostering sustainable growth for individuals and communities alike. Through our comprehensive programmes, we enable school leavers to overcome financial hurdles and pursue higher education, but also focus on enhancing job-readiness and equipping students with the skills necessary to reach their full potential as professionals.
In 2023 we witnessed several key milestones that exemplify our annual report theme, "Empowering Minds, Building Success". Nineteen of our bursary-funded students completed their studies, marking a significant achievement in our efforts to support higher education. Beyond providing bursaries, we actively worked with universities to create conducive learning environments through our University Support Programme. This year, we launched the Careers Centre at the University of Fort Hare. We also partnered with the University of the Western Cape to host a careers day, which successfully attracted many students, raising awareness of potential career paths and professional opportunities.
The Professionals Connect platform was developed with students, graduates and young professionals in mind. The portal is here to provide users with relevant industry-specific information as well as job and mentorship opportunities. We collaborate with professional associations, corporates, academic institutions, and experienced professionals to bring on opportunities and information that is aimed at empowering the youth.
Professionals Connect is a user-friendly and innovative platform where users can search for relevant job opportunities.
