SAPOA / Pareto Busary Scheme
The SAPOA Bursary Scheme is a meaningful solution aimed at addressing
the current and future skills crisis within the Commercial Property Industry.
Pareto Limited funded the bursary scheme with a donation of R1.2 million for the first year from the company’s Corporate Social Investment budget.
In terms of Pareto’s Corporate Social Investment Policy, education is one of the major focus areas. Investing in the SAPOA Bursary Scheme ideally fits within this focus area.
Pareto’s funding of the Bursary Scheme aims to address
this matter in the following ways:
- Funding 10 previously disadvantaged first year university students
Bursary for Property studies at University level for 2010. Recruitment/assessment will take place in April/May 2010 so that SAPOA can consider the first quarter results, with funding then backdated to January 2010. This will cover tuition, residence & meals, disposable cash and a book purchase allowance. - Funding 10 previously disadvantaged pupils for winter/spring schools at Grade 12 level
Bursaries for winter/spring school to raise the Mathematics, Science and English levels at Grade 12 level– increase pass rates for entry into tertiary education in Property Studies. These students will be considered by SAPOA for funding at tertiary level. - Mentorship programme for the 10 selected university students to ensure academic progress
A bursary trust has been established and Ms. Nomzamo Radebe, Pareto’s Acting Managing Director, serves as a trustee together with other prominent property industry players. Pareto will be involved in the final selection of the bursary student onto the SAPOA bursary scheme. The bursary students will be expected to do vacation work with possible future employment at Pareto’s prerogative in consultation with SAPOA.
