Real Journeys, Lasting Impact

From startup founders to corporate leaders, our community spans every corner of South Africa's financial sector. These stories showcase the diverse paths our learners have taken since completing their studies with us.

FinTech Innovation

From Analyst to Tech Entrepreneur

Kelebogile started as a junior financial analyst at a traditional Cape Town bank in early 2024. After completing our advanced financial modeling program, she identified gaps in small business lending technology. By October 2024, she had launched her own fintech startup focusing on AI-driven credit assessments for township businesses.

"The program taught me to see beyond traditional banking. Now we're processing over 200 loan applications monthly and have partnerships with three major banks."

Our 2024 cohort included mining engineers, retail managers, and healthcare administrators. Each brought unique industry perspectives that enriched everyone's learning experience.

Thabo joined us straight from university with an economics degree but zero practical experience. Meanwhile, Priya had been managing family investments for a decade but lacked formal training. Both completed our portfolio management track in 2024.
