Work Ready Programmes for our students

 

The Ready for Work Programme is specifically designed for students or graduates from the University of Pretoria (UP) to acquire the requisite skills and attributes to help you integrate into the world of work more easily. Move from the world of education to the world of work with essential and/or specialised skills that will improve your employment (or self-employment) prospects. The programme consists of four course packages that include either free modules or pay-per-course options.

 

Programmes are free for UP students and can be accessed at: http://www.enterprises.up.ac.za/ready4work/
