How we do it
We create access to tertiary education
opportunities that equip our youth with skills
that will enhance their employability. This helps
to address both the industry and country’s skills

▪ Provision of comprehensive funding support for
candidates pursuing STEM and non-STEM career studies.
▪ Work readiness and entrepreneurship
support enabling systems that produce
graduate self-starters.
▪ Research and infrastructure support, through provision
of postgraduate scholarships and critical research
equipment for Historically Disadvantages Institutions
(HDIs), to increase capacity for research and innovation.
▪ Development of green economy skills to support the
country’s transition towards more sustainable solutions
for the country.
