SUCCESSFUL 1ST PHASE
Our students have now completed their 18-month bridging and plant production program at the Haarlem Centre of Excellence, Southern Cape, SOUTH AFRICA.
This milestone comes after the Swedish NGO funded a 6-month introductory program plus a 72-month first level in Plant Production course, accredited by South Africa's AGRICULTURE SECTOR EDUCATION TRAINING AUTHORITY (Agriseta).
Nine (9) additional students are placed in full-time employ within the blueberry nursery industry. Their learning is provided by an industry specialist in Horticulture while they are in full employment at Bluedelite Nursery.
The next bridging program is scheduled to start as soon as funding is finalized. The new student intake will include small-scale and subsistence farmers.
