At the Class of '23 Graduation, we had a chat to Jean Huddy, Programme Director for the Academy to find out more about the graduates and the journey from enrolment to this special day. #DFTraderAcademy@FoodBevSETA@Cathsseta1@visitgauteng@GEP_ZA
Lorraine Rebisi (Rebisi Projects) & Lola Chunga (Grace Group Holdings) are always serving smiles. We're committed to supporting & empowering women owned businesses, with 25 female-owned SMME's within our 1st intake. #DFTraderAcademy
Each class focusses on an integral element of entrepreneurship within the F&B and hospitality sectors. The theoretical learnings from these are put into practice for the full month, alongside homework & activities. #DFTraderAcademy@FoodBevSETA@Cathsseta1@GEP_ZA@visitgauteng
The Academy ensures that the curriculum is closely aligned with the evolving needs of food trader industry, fostering relevant skills, knowledge transfer and support to the SMME students.

Ensuring compliance, licensing & adherence to food safety & hygiene standards is about more than just meeting regulations. When SMMEs understand & prioritise these aspects, it results in safer, healthier products reaching consumers.

Our SMME's have completed modules on personal safety practices in a food environment and are now ready to apply for a Certificate of Acceptability (COA) from their local Environmental Health offices.
