The awards are part of the broader TWIB vision of linking women with relevant science and technology-driven business solutions that will improve their business creativity and potential, and reward those women who have used technology to grow their business.

TWIB targets women entrepreneurs who use enterprising technological innovations to increase the production and enhance the quality of their products. Their business must be a profit-making enterprise that demonstrates diffusion of technology.

The TWIB Awards are held every year. TWIB calls for nominations to be done through advertisements placed in national newspapers as well as on the dti website. The judging or selection process is handled by an independent panel of judges/adjudicators appointed by the Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry. Prizes range from ICT business solutions to entrepreneurial support.

]]> B’avumile Skills Development Initiative https://careerplanet.co.za/bavumile-skills-development-initiative/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=bavumile-skills-development-initiative Sat, 15 Sep 2018 08:37:21 +0000 http://edevstage.co.za/cp/?p=1534 The B’avumile skills development programme is a women’s empowerment capacity-building initiative aimed at identifying talent in the arts and crafts and textiles and clothing sectors. It is a formal training programme to develop women’s expertise in the production of marketable goods and the creation of formal enterprises in the creative industry.

The programme places emphasis on both skills development and the economic empowerment of women. B’avumile seeks to:

  • Recruit women involved in the creative, clothing and textile industries, with skills in embroidery, sewing, weaving and beading;
  • Provide specialist skills training and assist women to establish their own enterprises or co-operatives;
  • In partnership with the Small Enterprise Development Agency (seda), provide additional training in packaging, customer service, basic bookkeeping and registering a business; and
  • Provide training sessions in municipalities. The training includes training on business skills. A number of women who have undergone this training run successful businesses and have been further assisted through other products offered by the dti.

Each year a particular province is selected and women enterprises are identified to participate in the process. A selection process is undertaken with the panel of experts in the sector, provincial partners, including the provincial government departments and seda.
