TSIBA business qualifications have been designed to offer students exposure to current industry experts into different business fields. Engaging and networking with our volunteers give TSIBA students a competitive edge when entering the workforce.
TSIBA’s successful mentoring programme is over 10 years into operation now, and our definition of what mentorship is continues to evolve. In our context, mentors self-select because they demonstrate a commitment to their own continued growth while serving as role models for our students.
