About us
Within the context of graduate and youth unemployment, the resources available at universities, the national drive for SMEs and the need for third-stream income at universities, the imperative to drive student and graduate entrepreneurship has been growing steadily. In response, a platform for Entrepreneurship Development in Higher Education (EDHE) was established at the end of 2016 from within the University Education Branch of the Department Higher Education and Training. The EDHE Programme has since been included in the University Capacity Development Programme (UCDP) of the Department Higher Education and Training.

Entrepreneurship Development in Higher Education (EDHE) reposted this
We’re so excited to share that our very own Siphesihle Nkosi, who leads our Youth Empowerment efforts as Special Projects Coordinator, recently had the incredible honour of serving as an adjudicator at the Entrepreneurship Development in Higher Education (EDHE) Entrepreneurship Intervarsity 2024 regional rounds! 🎉 This wasn’t just any event—it’s a space where some of South Africa’s most promising student entrepreneurs get to shine. Hosted by the EDHE, with the support of the Department of Higher Education and Training (Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET)), SAB Foundation, and the Allan Gray Orbis Foundtion, this competition is all about recognising talent and innovation. Sihle’s involvement was such a proud moment for all of us. It’s amazing to see how the work we’re doing in Youth Empowerment is making a real impact. Knowing that he played a role in encouraging the next generation of entrepreneurs just fills us with pride. #YouthEmpowerment #Entrepreneurship #MakingADifference
