A tertiary education is an investment that will pay back over a lifetime. People with a tertiary education develop skills, have better job opportunities and consequently earn more money. Regenesys Business School understands that in order for organisations to be competitive, they need personnel with skill sets that will enable them to perform at a world class level.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe world is changing rapidly and as the business environment becomes more competitive, employers are looking for employees that possess the critical competencies that add value to the organisation,\u201d says Siegie Brownlee, Chief Executive Officer, Regenesys Business School.<\/p>\n

According to a survey by Regenesys Business School, 48% of South Africa\u2019s workforce engages in further studies for better employment prospects and 23% feel that studying would increase their chances of a promotion.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese results are a clear indication that there is a desire amongst South African\u2019s working force to equip themselves for opportunities within the corporate environment. Many understand that with a tertiary education, comes a set skills and a broad base of knowledge that they\u2019ll use for the rest of their lives,\u201d added Brownlee.<\/p>\n

As part of its commitment to ensuring access to quality higher education \u2013 through it`s free business education initiative \u2013 Regenesys Business School launched its \u2018Free to Learn\u2019 competition. Qualifying students stand a chance to win bursaries to the value $10 000 \u2013 enabling them to study and acquire a formal qualification such as a certificate, degree or MBA.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is our fundamental premise that what differentiates ordinary from extraordinary managers and leaders is their emotional and spiritual intelligence. Coupled with quality education, these individuals increase their ability to think critically and engage staff to make wise decisions; traits that any aspiring manager, executive or leader should have\u201d concluded Brownlee.<\/p>\n
