The students were presented with certificates in acknowledgement of their accomplishments at a ceremony at Carnival City on April 24.
The students, from disadvantaged communities in Ekurhuleni, were identified by the trust to attend one year courses in their chosen fields, ranging from beauty therapy and hairstyling, to culinary and marketing, at local training institutions.
There were 34 graduates from KwaThema and two from Springs, namely Makhanya Thembini and Busisiwe Sibeko.
