Fasset-funded Thusanani Work Readiness Programme, offered by Stanley Hutcheson in partnership with Deloitte and the University of Johannesburg is a Seta success story. Ninety-nine unemployed graduates recently graduated from the programme, bringing the total number of unemployed graduates, who have completed the programme, since April 2006, to 1 200.

There are many large retail stores in South Africa that run graduate development programmes for students completing degrees or diplomas in Fashion, Industrial Design, Commerce, Merchandising and more. As a springboard to a career in fashion design, interior design, sports retail, HR, buying and merchandising, a grad programme offers intensive development across all areas of a given business. It’s an opportunity to launch a career with an established institution – and not one to be missed.
