Socio Economic Development
Our approach to Socio Economic Development has always been guided by our passion for development of young entrepreneurs in South Africa. Our primary CSI programme helps support community and social development through a host of initiatives focused on establishing social infrastructure and promoting entrepreneurship and social upliftment through the transfer of knowledge and skills. RSAWEB founded the Non-Profit Organisation; The RAMP Foundation and plays a critical role in all the development projects delivered by the organisation. A good example of such an initiative is our event, Net Prophet. The event is held once per year, and is open to all members of the public to attend for free. We aim to inspire young South African’s by getting some of the best entrepreneurs in the world to present to them and encourage them to make a positive impact on their communities by starting their own businesses. In the past we have had TED Fellows, academics, Media powerhouses, and tech start-up CEO’s from all over the world present at the event. For more information on Net Prophet, have a look at our site: www.netprophet.org.za
Skills Development
We endeavour to develop all of our people to their greatest potential, so that they can work and live in a way that adds great value to the organisation, themselves and their families. We therefore undertake to facilitate and promote the continuous training and development of all of our staff. This is done with the aim of realising the goals of both RSAWEB and its employees through the maximising in the employee’s level of effectiveness and the quality of service and work provided by the employee.
Enterprise Development
RSAWEB is dedicated to the support and development of small to medium enterprises as we realise the importance of enterprise development in the battle against unemployment. Our aim is to support and assist with the development of small to medium enterprises, with the intention of promoting sustainability as well as financial independence for other enterprises. Our main vehicle for this is the Acceleration Workshop which we facilitate each year, when we put 10 promising start-ups in a room with an established investor / entrepreneur and give them two days to learn as much as possible, grow, get the tools they need and then go on to develop successful businesses.
