The training courses will run between six and nine months, starting in October. The Innovation Hub will run a participant selection process, which will be communicated with the target groups soon. Through its social and labour plan, Ergo has committed R2.5-million towards this programme. “This strategic partnership between The Innovation Hub and Ergo demonstrates the shared commitment to promoting innovation, skills development and entrepreneurship in communities,” DRDGold indicated.
