Partnerships
Careerlinx couldn’t have survived these two tumultuous years without the support of our two main funders Konica Minolta and Container World. Their faith in our programmes, staff and students has encouraged us to keep going.
In 2020/2021 we were also very grateful for our partnerships with Hillcrest AIDS Center Trust (HACT) and Embo Craft Training Center Trust. Careerlinx has found a warm welcome home on the HACT campus and the facilities of HACT serve our organisation perfectly in terms of training facilities, catering and potential workplaces for our learnership students. Embo Craft facilitated a 5 day computer skills training for all our students, giving them much needed skills for the 21st century
