Part of the BISA vision is to offer an outstanding tertiary education selection of various colleges to our students, covering a wide selection of courses, diplomas or degrees and to provide them with the opportunity of attaining practical skills through internships within the workplace.

UCT Student wins coveted PPS Scholarship Award! |
|
|
|
 Mallin Moolman, a fourth-year University of Cape Town (UCT) student studying electrical engineering has been awarded the prestigious PPS Scholarship Award worth R40,000, after producing academic results that one of his professors describes as simply astounding. In his first year of study, Mallin scored 98% for Mathematics, 99% for Physics and 100% for Engineering. In his third year, he scored 93% for Electromagnetic Engineering. Barry Downing, Head of Electrical Engineering at UCT, says that even he, as a professor of 15 years, would struggle to accomplish such a feat. “Each year at UCT, we seem to find one or two students whose academic ability is on another level altogether. Mallin is one such student.”

Young Entrepreneurs Finalists Announced |
|
|
|
 Entrepreneurship and innovation are vehicles for change and leadership. But in South Africa, entrepreneurship is far from reaching its full potential. In 2005, the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), the largest and most rigorous longitudinal study of entrepreneurship in the world, released the following illuminating findings about the entrepreneurship in South Africa.
The DAD Fund and Evo Media together with their American partners therefore approached the US government to sponsor a dynamic new Youth Entrepreneurship Programme (YEP). YEP offers young entrepreneurs a chance to learn from top international entrepreneurs in the USA and launch their own businesses in South Africa. The programme follows a holistic approach that acts as a seed for spreading this training and support to other potential entrepreneurs in the country.

 Introduction and background
The ongoing changes and problems in business, requires a new kind of leader: a leader that is authentic (real), has integrity (whole) and thinks innovatively (creative). Leadership is not about a specific style, or copying another leader’s behaviour, but about responsibility and stewardship. True leaders appeal to people’s hearts and minds by living according to their vision and values.
Effective leaders have balance in their lives, know who they are and live according to their values. Their leadership is extended to all areas of their lives, and they are healthier, less stressed, perform better at work and are more productive.
Research shows that people do not have to be born with specific characteristics or traits to be a leader. You also do not have to be at the top of your organization – leadership can be, and should be, learned.
