The Sekhukhune TVET College has established the CFERI through funding provided by the Small Enterprise Development Agency (SEDA) to promote youth entrepreneurship and mitigate the constraints associated with the failure of youth-owned start-up and early-stage enterprises within the first three years of establishment. We aim to support start-up and early-stage previously disadvantaged entrepreneurs with resources and services to increase their success which is measured by profitable and self-sustaining growth-oriented ventures that will contribute to the creation of jobs and economic growth in the Sekhukhune District.
