BUSINESS EMPOWERMENT
Trainees make the cut SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121
A
group of 20 Mitchell’s Plain hairdressers have started a training course through the Whitaker Peace and Development Initiative. After completing local training programmes presented by ward 75 councillor Joan Woodman and late ward 82 councillor Sheval Arendse, the trainees are now participating in further business training. Last year, Woodman funded trainees from
her ward and Arendse also funded trainees on hairdresser training. “We have an established relationship with the Whitaker Peace and Development Initiative after Forest Whitaker visited Mitchell’s Plain last year, and also met myself and premier Alan Winde and education minister Debbie Schäfer to discuss how we can work together,” says Mitchell’s Plain constituency head for the DA, Ricardo Mackenzie. The five month business training started last month. The training includes how to start a busi-
ness, basic business skills, finance skills and how to sustain a business. Some of the participants will also get a cash injection on completion of the course. The group of 10 women from ward 75 completed a hairdressing course to improve their chances of employment. “As the ward councillor, I had the honour and privilege to afford 10 young ladies from ward 75 the opportunity to attend a ‘Business in a Box’ hairdressing course during the month of November. “This was part of the ward allocation bud-
get for the 2019/2020 budget year,” Woodman says. The women are aged between 19 and 35 and were randomly selected from a database. On completion of the course they will receive a starter kit to start their own mobile styling businesses. “This is a business in a box that empowers the participants to start their own business. This was done in 2018 and now in 2019, the fruits thereof encouraged me to do so again,” says Woodman. V Continued on page 2.
