We are happy to support this great project by OASIS NPC
The hospitality industry is a growing sector in South Africa and, therefore, has the potential for creating a large number of sustainable jobs in the economy. The industry provides numerous career growth opportunities for hard working and talented individuals and does not always require candidates to have a tertiary qualification. It is, therefore, an ideal industry to facilitate access to the economy for a large number of previously disadvantaged individuals.
We developed a training programme in collaboration with Mido Technologies, Lize Botha & Associates and Maze Academy) to assist in the education and skills development of individuals looking to obtain employment in the hospitality industry.
The programme focuses on three main components:
We have partnered with other Non-Profit Organisations (NPOs) such as the Amy Foundation, SA Ubuntu Foundation and Bergzicht College in order to identify and screen suitable candidates for this programme.
A student that has completed this course is equipped to fulfil multiple positions within the hospitality industry such as a receptionist, waiter, room attendant and porter.
We have a 70% success rate of course attendees gaining full time employment, while the remainder are absorbed into further study programmes with associate NPOs.
We aim to cater to 16 students per course.

Through the use of GIS layers and theIr boundaries as planning instruments this exercise illustrates how a simple procedure leads to an understanding of the environment and ecosystem services. This procedure was tested in the conceptual planning of the Kimbi Fungom National Park in Cameroon.
