Testimonials

As a learner, I could have access to education and training, as it allows me to work and get started on my career while I also study for an educational qualification. The learnership improved me as a person to work harder and achieve my goals for the future.

The facilitators are very nice and helpful, and we learned a lot of interesting facts about hazards that can influence the quality of our food products. It is a very helpful course because we can help our producers and give them intel about how to achieve a better standard, which will result in better quality food produce for consumers and retailers.

Being drawn into the fresh produce industry with no prior experience and learning the ins and outs, as well as all the life lessons along the way, has been a blessing, to say the least. If you are willing to accept the challenge and take a leap out of your comfort zone, I cannot recommend it more!

Having the opportunity to participate in a learnership through Star South Academy while being a full-time employee has its challenges, but it has also developed and enriched my skills and perspective from the get-go. Star South Academy fosters a safe space for collaboration, in which we can be comfortable sharing our own experiences, ideas, challenges, and possible solutions.

Taking part in the Star South Learnership Program at Produce Hub Gauteng has been a life-changing experience. This program gave me a valuable chance to learn about how the supply chain works in the fresh produce industry. With the help of direct one-on-one training, I now understand the whole process, from getting the product to issuing it out.
