Events Internship Opportunity at Raizcorp 2017

Raizcorp is, according to The Economist, the only genuine incubator in Africa. However, we prefer to think of ourselves as a Prosperator™ rather than an incubator. We provide business support for enthusiastic, growth-hungry entrepreneurs, offering them a platform that fosters learning and guidance, which can be translated into practical business success.

We also offer partnership opportunities, providing invaluable business guidance and support for your business. We guarantee you results! And, for Corporate Sponsors, we provide you with access to quality suppliers for Enterprise and Supplier Development (ESD) – not only for your own enterprise development benefits, but also to grow a high-quality and efficient supplier chain, which will improve your business operations and increase profits.

We have an events internship available for a national entrepreneurial workshop and competition programme.  Sandton based with national travel over weekends.
