UJ launches the Venture Mentoring Services (VMS) Programme to support entrepreneur The University of Johannesburg (UJ) has introduced an innovative mentorship programme designed to support aspiring entrepreneurs in developing start-ups and spinout companies.

We hosted the much anticipated Student Entrepreneurs Workshop where our speakers spoke and addressed the underlying issues for existing and upcoming student entrepreneurs. The President Tshireletso Zakhele spoke on the need for institutional policy review, to eradicate redtapes on student businesses, by various organs of student governance such as UJ Student Parliament. He also spoke on the need to enhance the conversation around varsity economy to allow the attainment of a Youth-led Sustainable Economic Growth which is supported by strong Student Economies across various universities. We need more graduates who will be job creators than job seekers.

We thank all students that joined us for the workshop and raised pertinent issues surrounding our current state of the student economy. We will create more platforms where students could trade, network, and get trained on how to stregthen their start ups.

Today we join South Africans as they celebrate and commemorate the historic march led by women against apartheid pass laws on the 9th August 1956. As the Executive Committee we wish you a happy Women's Day.
