STAROOT VACANCIES Editor’s pick of the week:

T

oday, South Africa’s business trends and the entrepreneurial landscape demands far more sophisticated skills in order to achieve competitiveness and ensure survival of SMMEs which have to look beyond the confines of tradition. This was said

by Minister of Small Business Development, Ms Lindiwe Zulu, at the opening ceremony of the Global Entrepreneurship Week which took place in Johannesburg today.

“Business failure is often attributed to the lack of entrepreneurial knowledge and skills such as innovation and risk taking and therefore should not be overlooked as essential ingredients to SMME success”, she said. Minister Zulu added that low levels of education and training, as well as poor business skills were contributing factors. She pointed out that the department is committed to facilitating innovative interventions to support the SMME and cooperative development in order to boost employment opportunities.

“To address the skills challenge, my department has embarked on a journey to develop entrepreneurs. Together with Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Colleges, we are launching Centres of Entrepreneurship across all our provinces”, said Minister Zulu.

This year alone, the department has launched these centres in False Bay College (Western Cape Province) and Gert Sibande College (Mpumalanga Province) focusing on the hospitality sector.

Two more Centres of Entrepreneurship will be launched in the North West and Kwa-Zulu/Natal.

The same principle applies in business. New neural pathways are the result of mastering new things by doing them. Networks of neural pathways develop and form associations with each other and the more often they are repeated, the more integrated they become. This is the reason why early childhood development is so critical to human development.

The coaching process used at the Riversands Incubation Hub is exactly this: providing ongoing new challenges and new experiences out of incubatees’ comfort zone and growing tenacity and higher levels of responsiveness.

The methodology is always geared to engage the entrepreneur and stimulate the will to act, developing an “I can do it” attitude.

These pathways can be likened to the paths that form in the veld as more and more people or animals walk on them. The more traffic they take, the deeper the path becomes.
