Behind every successful person there is a story worth drawing from
Paul Ryan once wrote that “behind every business, there’s a story worth knowing.” He was recently proven right through the extensive thought leadership that was shared with aspiring young women entrepreneurs from South Africa’s public universities, at their three-day gathering.
The occasion was the 2nd annual capacity development workshop of the executive leadership of Student Women Economic Empowerment Programme (SWEEP) chapters across institutions of higher learning. Up to 103 participants representing SWEEP chapter coordinators from 17 institutions attended the workshop that was hosted by Universities South Africa’s (USAf’s) Entrepreneurship Development in Higher Education (EDHE) programme on the East Rand, in Gauteng. The SWEEP coordinators included pockets of universities’ staff involved in their campuses’ entrepreneurship programmes.
