U-Belong Entrepreneurs represents a practical initiative aimed at fostering entrepreneurship in South Africa, particularly in communities that often lack access to such opportunities. The program is structured to provide participants with both hands-on sales experience and a foundational business education. Over the course of a 12-month learnership, individuals engage in selling essential items—such as airtime and starter packs—while simultaneously earning a stipend and working toward an NQF Level 1 Business Practice qualification accredited by MICT SETA.
Rather than focusing solely on theoretical learning, U-Belong integrates real-world practice with ongoing support, including a comprehensive start-up kit and expert guidance. The overarching objective is to equip participants with the skills, confidence, and resources necessary to establish and sustain their own micro-businesses within their local communities. The program is grounded in the belief that everyone should have the opportunity to pursue economic self-sufficiency and contribute meaningfully to their surroundings.
