At UCT, Mr Ismail met up with Ms Nadia Waggie (Head of Operations at UCT Career Services and Student Entrepreneurship Champion), who provided insights into the various entrepreneurial initiatives at UCT, as well as their plans for student entrepreneurship at their university. The possibility of UCT’s future involvement in the project was also discussed.
Both Ms Kotze and Ms Waggie showed great interest in the project’s preliminary results and are looking forward to the release of the project report and cases in April 2022, as well as the Student Entrepreneurship Development Tool that is currently being developed by the project team.
