Message from the Founder
“The South African Council for Graduates Cooperative (SACGRA) strives to
develop competent graduates that can become successful entrepreneurs or
competitive employees. Through this we aim to contribute towards making
South Africa a winning nation.
We empower students and graduates
to have a productive work ethic and be globally competitive through
partnership with industry leaders.
Moreover, we professionalise cooperatives, SMMEs and entrepreneurs through
capacity building, internship support, entrepreneurial assessments and
business toolbox incubation. The organisation puts an emphasis on coops
gaining access to the market through enterprise and supplier development
programs. It is our goal to grow viable, profitable and sustainable coops,
SMMEs and entrepreneurs.
All university and college final year students are invited to register in
the SACGRA database to secure their first internship or employment. It is
my delight to invite private and public sector entities to partner with the
SACGRA to grow high calibre graduates.
