Celebrating Women’s Month: Embracing Entrepreneurship and Innovation
During August, we proudly celebrate Women’s Month, a time to honour the remarkable contributions of women throughout history and recognise their enduring impact on society.
At False Bay TVET College, Centre For Entrepreneurship Rapid Incubator (CFERI/CFE), we join in this celebration by focusing on the power of entrepreneurship as a pathway for women to forge their own futures, drive innovation, and make a lasting impact.
Honouring the Legacy of 1956
This Women’s Month, we pay tribute to the courageous women of 1956 who stood united against the oppressive pass laws in apartheid South Africa. Their resilience and determination serve as a powerful reminder of the strength that women possess and their ability to challenge the status quo.
Entrepreneurship: A Path to Empowerment
Entrepreneurship offers an avenue for women to not only build successful businesses but also to shape their own destinies. At the Centre For Entrepreneurship, we are committed to fostering an environment where women can thrive as entrepreneurs.
Innovative Programmes and Support
Our entrepreneurship training programmes are tailored to equip women with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the business world. During Women’s Month, we highlighted our various initiatives aimed at nurturing female entrepreneurs:
Entrepreneurship Training Programmes
These programs offer hands on training, mentorship, and resources to help women turn their business ideas into reality. Our training includes practical workshops, one-on-one coaching, and access to valuable networks.
Community Engagement
Through our Ignition Café programmes and community business clinics, we provide women with opportunities to connect with other entrepreneurs, share experiences, and gain insights into successful business practices.
Innovation and Creativity
We encourage women to embrace innovation and creativity in their business ventures. Our design thinking workshops and business development support are geared towards helping women identify opportunities and develop innovative solutions.
The Growth Mindset: Embracing Opportunities
Adopting a growth mindset is essential for any entrepreneur. We believe that entrepreneurship is innate and that every woman has the potential to succeed.
