Our programme is in alignment with CUT’s Vision 2030 where it centres around fostering innovation and entrepreneurship, that is what Enactus stands for and we have been enabled by Enactus to be able to materialise it and translate it into attainable actions and outcomes and we are standing here today because of that, not just conceptualising it but we are actually living it. and it is because of the support that we get from Enactus CUT, where we are exposed to amazing faculty advisors as well as a business advisory board who have steered us and allowed us to be groomed in the actual corporate world. We represent ourselves very well because of this,” said More.
