Corporate South Africa and individuals are making a positive difference to the country's student funding crisis, by sponsoring tertiary studies and offering workplace learning.

Encouraging more businesses to contribute to student funding, De Beer says “business leaders can create much-needed change, especially in areas where most people continue to rely on assistance from government. These are the communities their employees are part of.”

The department of trade and industry has recently published revisions to the B-BBEE Codes of Good Practice. These revisions include key changes to Code 300, which specifically deals with Skills Development expenditure. This code now allocates four points as an incentive to employers to encourage concerted contributions to bursaries for black students at all higher education institutions, says De Beer.

Retailer Woolworths recently announced it would recruit approximately 450 learners in 108 stores in South Africa and at their head office for a period of 12 months under this flagship programme.
