Entrepreneurship Development Program (EDP)

In recognizing that Africa has a massive unemployment problem and lack of skills Spangenberg Management Solutions have developed a program over 10 years aimed at the youth before they leave school and fall into the unemployment trap.

This program uses practical mechanisms to teach learners how to consider a business and then to test it for potential success using the Business Plan. The program does not stop there, as we then use Project Management principles in ensuring that these newly considered business plans are launched.

This highly successful program has funded many scholars University attendance as well as establishing businesses and preventing the lapse into unemployment causing the inevitable approach of crime and prostitution which traps so many of our youth.
