Our Students Say

A picture of one of the EBL Graduates who has given a testimonial.
" I recently got a contract with GIBS, I only started this month and what is exciting is that I got assigned into Data Analytics team, so I am practically applying everything that I acquired last year in the Digital Skills for Digital Jobs Programme.

Also being an entrepreneur at heart there is no better place to apply myself that at a business school as such, my business is equally growing through my growth. I thought I could share the great news with you because EBL was and is still part of my journey. I hope to nurture my relationship with EBL Team and continue being in your community. Kindly send my regards to Dr Thabo Pitse who inspires me a lot”.
