BluLever Education Launches New Campus We’re thrilled to celebrate with our partner, BluLever Education, on the opening of their impressive 2,000 sqm campus in Braamfontein, Johannesburg. This expansion signifies their remarkable growth and unwavering dedication to delivering high-quality, demand-driven artisan training for young people. The new campus will enhance their offerings beyond plumbing to include electrical and automotive mechanics, creating even more opportunities for apprentices while addressing industry needs. #YouthDevelopment #SkillsForTheFuture #PartnershipsForChange #EmpoweringYouth #EmploySAYouth
On September 27th, BluLever Education took a monumental step forward in our journey to empower Africa's artisans with skills for the future. It wasn't just about opening the doors to a new campus; it was about unveiling a vision that has been years in the making. The day was attended by our partners, investors, and friends of BluLever, and we even had the honour of hosting the Minister of Small Business Development, Stella Ndabeni Abraham. As we cut the ribbon, there was a tangible sense of excitement in the air, a feeling that we were embarking on something far bigger than ourselves. This campus is more than a building – it’s a symbol of our commitment to transforming artisan education in South Africa. Every detail, from the classrooms to the workshops, has been designed with one purpose in mind: to create a space where aspiring artisans can gain the skills, confidence, and experience they need to build meaningful careers. We know you weren’t there on the day, but we want you to be part of the journey. The day wasn’t just about speeches and ceremonies. This was an immersive experience that took our guests through the heart of what makes BluLever unique, starting with our hands-on workshops. In our next post, we’ll take you deeper into the experience, starting with the workshops where our apprentices hone their craft We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Ariston Group for their generous sponsorship of the Campus Launch event. A sincere thank you also goes out to all the guests who joined us on this momentous day. #BluLeverCampusLaunch #NewBeginnings #ArtisanEducation"
