THE Robin Hood Foundation is hosting a free educational and upskilling conference at the CityHill Church in Hillcrest on Tuesday, 12 and Wednesday, 13 July.
Cindy Norcott, chairman and founder of The Robin Hood Foundation, said they aim to equip more than 600 aspiring and existing entrepreneurs with knowledge, skills and advice in a two-day, jam-packed event. This conference is open to men and women aged 16 years and over.
“It is our belief that many people in South Africa would make successful entrepreneurs if they had more knowledge, skills, a bigger network and access to more opportunities. We have a group of successful entrepreneurs and business leaders lined up to share their skills and advice with the delegates; to expose them to some great business minds, ideas and networks that they would not have otherwise had access to, enabling the delegates to go forward with their business ventures and ideas and put them into action and start or grow their businesses/business ideas,” said Norcott.
The conference will cover the following business basics: entrepreneurship and business idea generation; talks from successful business people; communication skills and an interactive session with team building company; marketing yourself, your business and networking; customer service; and managing money.
“Based on the success of our two previous conferences, we are confident that this event will inspire delegates to run successful businesses, which can have a ripple effect in poor communities and in the South African economy in general,” added Norcott.
