In a significant boost for youth development and entrepreneurship in Limpopo, Capricorn TVET College, in partnership with the Services Sector Education and Training Authority (ServicesSETA) and the Africa Civic Education Foundation (ACEF), has unveiled the New Venture Creation Skills Learnership Programme. This innovative initiative aims to cultivate a generation of self-reliant, business-savvy individuals equipped with the tools to create and sustain their own ventures.
Empowering Future Entrepreneurs
The New Venture Creation Learnership Programme is designed to offer young South Africans—especially the unemployed youth—a solid foundation in business start-up principles, entrepreneurship, and basic management. By fusing theoretical training with real-world exposure, learners are equipped not only with a nationally recognised NQF Level 4 qualification but also with the confidence and capacity to build thriving enterprises in their communities.
This learnership responds directly to the country’s pressing need to reduce youth unemployment through entrepreneurial skills. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of how to:
- Identify viable business opportunities
- Develop and implement business plans
- Manage operations, marketing, and finances
- Understand legislative and regulatory frameworks
Strategic Partnerships for Impact
Capricorn TVET College brings to the table its academic expertise and accessible campus infrastructure. ServicesSETA, renowned for its commitment to sector-specific skills development, ensures the programme adheres to national training standards. Meanwhile, ACEF contributes a civic-driven approach to entrepreneurship—emphasising not just profit, but social impact, sustainability, and ethical leadership.
This multi-stakeholder collaboration represents a model of how institutions can come together to address economic and social challenges through focused, skill-building programmes.

Participants will not only receive monthly stipends (R2000) to support their participation but also leave the programme with practical, marketable skills that enable them to either launch their own ventures or add value to existing businesses.
