These individuals have a solid track record in delivery of EWETs programs as volunteers. This approach contributes to: a true transfer of expertise to communities that we serve; has a huge saving on travel and accommodation costs; extends EWETs reach; adds human resources capacity as _, and when needed that represent part-time positions; and started to build a desperately needed knowledge base on entrepreneurship-education at school level across South Africa. EWETs offices provide institutional support and co-ordination to this network. 2. Background

2.1 Brief history In 1989, the conversation started that lead to EWETs establishment. Of concern was the high unemployment rate amongst secondary school learners who left school. The aim is to pro-actively capacitate learners at school, to consider the career option of becoming creators of jobs rather than to be seekers of existing limited job opportunities. No party-political alignment is a core principle that was established from the start by partners consisting of parents, business people, government officials, educationalists and community members involved. EWET was registered in June 1992. Broad national (some international) consultations took place on how to go about addressing this need. Design work for a uniquely South African approach lead to a pilot that was initiated in 1994 and continued until the launch of the Youth Enterprise Society (YES) program in 1996. The pilot included the business competency competitive event that was later called Simama Ranta. EWET started with the dissemination of YES in 1997 and achieved national reach in 1998. The dissemination of YES together with the responsibility to sustain

established YES societies in operation exceeds 300 schools with a reach over the years of beyond 34,000 learners. This became the bulk of EWETs work, as it is today. EWET sustains the principle of constant innovation. This principle lead to the development and implementation of the Partnerships for Development Models (PDM) program between 1997 and 1999 which strengthened EWETs ability to build upon local community capacity in the delivery of YES. A further major innovation was between 2008 and 2010 when the in-classroom element was put in place with EWETs Entrepreneurship Education (EE) to consist of the three elements of: clubs (YES), the Simama Ranta competition and the mentioned inschool syllabi element. 2010 Also saw EWET executing the first Entrepreneurship Education Simama Ranta competition open for participation to all South African secondary schools regardless of their involvement in YES or not. These developments enable EWET to go to true scale. The bottom line that enables EWET to achieve its mission together with aims and objectives had been, and is, through the execution of funding contracts. Beneficiaries and EWET itself have tremendous appreciation for this support. Since 1992, EWET successfully executed 74 such contracts with a total value that exceeds R33,000,000. An Education Africa award had been bestowed upon EWET while EWETs website won a UNESCO top 10 African educational award. The South African Broadcasting Corporation produced and screened a number of inserts on YES over the years. The most recent external evaluation of YES had been made available by Impact Assessment on 28 February 2008 under assignment from the Umsobomvu Youth Fund. Findings of this assessment where presented at the 5th Entrepreneurship Development Conference in Cape Town, in June 2008. This report is available on request. 2.2 EWETs collaborative approach Institutions with whom EWET collaborated that have a formative role are: the Centre for Education and Training for Employment (CETE) of the Ohio State University (USA); International Training Services (UK); the Future Search Conference (FSC) community (Canada); The Learning Circle linked to Peter Senge, Universities of the Free State, KwaZulu Natal and of Pretoria (South Africa), John Hopkins (USA) and Durham (UK); the National African Federated Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NAFCOC), South African Chamber of Business (SACOB), the Afrikaanse Handelsinstituut (AHI), the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU). Other critical partners are: the Directorate Rural Education of the South African Governments national Department of Basic Education (Mr Bobby Soobryan third from the left, DG. in picture with EE Teacher and YES members), the National Small Business Advisory Council of the Department of Trade and Industry of the South African Government, together with the Small Enterprise Development Agency (SEDA) of the same department.

2.3 EWET Programs Other program areas of EWET, with EE representing around 90% of EWETs focus are: Partnerships for Development Models (PDM) as mentioned above within 2.1, that consist of a range of interventions aimed to assist collaborative initiatives between the private sector, civil society and government to address socio-economic challenges; the provision of business development support services (BDS) to existing and emerging entrepreneurs; poverty eradication (PE) that aims to address the need for food security amongst temporarily disabled and poor people; the last mentioned program feeds into the Economic Development and Poverty Eradication through a Networking Approach (EDaPEtNA) initiative. Boschetto agricultural development; a mini-enterprise initiative where young people gained competence and experience within real operating businesses as a print & copy shop and as a cyber caf represent initiatives that are not currently being driven any more. In 2010 EWET got involved in the Expanded Public Works Program (EPWP2) that works with (amongst others) graduates of the YES program (YES Alumni). YES and PDM have a national focus while the other programs and initiatives focus on local delivery. 2.4 Geographic reach EWET worked through the years within the following areas, with provinces in alphabetical order: Eastern Cape (EC): Kroonvale, Peferville, Mdantsane, Libode, Umtata, Ntlanza, Ngqeleni, Qumbu, Port St Johns, Tombo, Mdatsane, East London, Cofinvaba, Wongalethu, Hlokoma.

The primary market where EWET initiated YES in 1994 had been the 89 schools that offer Grades 9, 10 and 11 located within the nodal Thabo Mofutsanyana district (anchored by the area known as QwaQwa). These schools had a total of 55 510 learners and 3 282 educators in 2006, although EWETs thrust had been on the specific grades mentioned (Grade 8 is now included). EWET expanded YES delivery from this district to the Free State province with its 168 secondary schools with 149 634 learners and 5 058 educators (excluding Mofutsanyanas figures given). Some delivery on a national basis took place where there were 943 509 learners in Grade 9; 1 065 101 learners in Grade 10; and 864 230 learners in Grade 11 in 2006. Note: these figures represented the national totals while EWET focused upon rural and previously disadvantaged areas. EWETs reach in Thabo Mofutsanyana had been 71 schools (where Grades 9, 10 and 11 is offered) which imply an 80% reach; Free State province reach is 239 relevant schools, with EWET reaching 126 that represents a 53% reach. Nationally, there had been 5 637 secondary schools (EWET reached 5%) in 2006 with 3 821 316 learners and 123 502 educators in South Africa. Statistics on which of these schools are rurally based with how many learners in Grades 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 is of importance.
