TUT confers certificates to Gauteng farmers and military veterans

The University and GDARD entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to partner in the Stimulated Agribusiness Acceleration Programme (SAAP) for a period of three years (from 2020/2021 to 2022/2023 financial years). SAAP was initiated to provide holistic support to small-scale and emerging farmers by equipping them with specialised technical agricultural and agro-processing skills, business and entrepreneurial skills, knowledge and competencies that they need to run successful farming enterprises in the Gauteng provincial priority agri-value chain sectors. 

In addition, student graduates and the Agricultural Extension officers who completed various Short Learning Programmes (SLPs) in different technical agricultural and agro-processing skills, as well as business and entrepreneurial skills, will receive certificates.
