ABOUT THE COMPANY PROVIDING THE TRAINING:
Hillsong Africa Foundation created an initiative called The Innovation Hub, which was first launched in August 2019. The Innovation Hub was established as a 'proof-of-concept' initiative; first taking place within the Western Cape at the Philippi Village hub, with 18 students entering the programme. The Innovation Hub believes that with the aid of its partners it can establish pathways for young people to achieve their career goals- something they were not able to do before.
