Allan Gray Makers has announced the launch of an initiative that aims to nurture and grow responsible technical and vocational entrepreneurs in South Africa and hopes to accelerate meaningful employment creation,
The Artisans of Mzansi Campaign, which was launched on September 3 last year, is now entering its second year and invites artisans to participate before the closing date on June 30, 2023.
The campaign is aimed at technical entrepreneurs, to shine a spotlight on them and their businesses and to celebrate them so that they can serve as relatable role models to aspiring technical entrepreneurs and to change the negative perception about the trades.
The programme takes the format of a competition that encourages artisanal entrepreneurs from different specialities, including plumbing, construction, carpentry, electricals, renovations, general repairs, and related fields, to participate.
Through the competition, participants have the chance to win exciting prizes at the end of the campaign, further incentivising their involvement and promoting excellence within the artisanal community.
The programme seeks to drive positive change and empower the next generation of entrepreneurs by focusing on ethical leadership values and behaviours, thereby creating a powerful network of skilled artisans who can contribute significantly to the country’s economic growth and job creation.
