RISE Academy is the only institution in South Africa making Entrepreneurship fun and accessible to youth. By engaging with what’s relevant to teenagers - celebrity culture, the music industry, and chasing your dreams while you’re young – we’re able to teach both business and life skills and help our students to apply these to something they are truly passionate about.
Rise has two divisions:
1) A private extra-mural academy that focuses on the music industry (DJing, Music Production, Singing and Rapping), preparing students with all the entrepreneurial skills they need to break into the market. To follow to the success stories of our graduates, you can find them here: http://www.riseacademy.co.za
2) Assisting high schools to build entrepreneurship programs into their syllabuses, hosting entrepreneurship workshops for their students, and informational talks to educate and inspire students on the possibilities of one day becoming a business owner.
