Our Development Partners

Our Development Partners 

At the Richard George Foundation (RGF), our Development Partners are a critical success factor to our vision of empowerment through mentoring and entrepreneurship.  Development Partners are providers and facilitators of workplace environment and opportunities where our mentees can be deployed as: 

• Interns 

• Work based experience

• Transition into world of work

• Project placements

Development Partners enable our mentees to transfer acquired knowledge and learnings into real work environment. They create opportunities through work for RGF mentees to test new models, frameworks and apply system design thinking in whatever they do by way of personal growth, organisational strengthening and adding value to existing processes, procedures, customs and practices. 

The experience gained from such opportunities is designed to help inform mentees decision-making:

• Their attraction to paid employment and corporate world

• Their drive towards entrepreneurship as individuals or through collaboration
