The course is presented by the Computer Information Systems Company (CISCO), an international technology company, in partnership with the City of Ekurhuleni, the National Library of South Africa, and the Gauteng Department of Sport, Recreation, Arts, and Culture.
The course will be offered as a two-part series, and the first segment is Discovering Entrepreneurship and Creating Compelling Reports, which sets the foundation for the second part, Launching a Business Venture and Engaging Stakeholders for Success.
The series of courses is about three months in total.
“To ensure that we leave no one behind, candidates who have successfully registered can complete these free online courses at any of the city’s 47 libraries which offer free access to computers and Wi-Fi connection.
“However, those with access to their own devices can access the relevant cites from anywhere,” said Zweli.
