Freddy Molatlhegi

Founder and Managing Director

“Theoretical training that does not comprehend experiential and/or practical component is not only a waste of time but a superfluous learning curve.”

Freddy holds a BA degree from the University of the Witwatersrand, majoring in Political Studies and International Relations, with further studies in Law, Crime and Deviance. He is also certified in Internal Supplier Auditing and multiple ISO standards. He brings diverse experience across telecommunications, banking, research, and education & training. Has worked across multiple SETAs, building deep expertise in South Africa’s skills development landscape.

His career took a turn when he chose not to pursue what he studied at university. While his former classmates pursued careers in politics, Freddy took the opposite direction and developed a deep passion for skills development. He built his career in the education and training sector instead. When asked why he did not enter politics, he explained that: “The level of poverty in education within previously marginalised Black communities need to be addressed. This cannot be achieved by government handouts, but by upskilling the youth, the marginalised and the entire communities at large.”.

Additionally, he plays a fundamental role in stakeholder Management, liaise with SETAs, clients, and partners on WSP/ATR, discretionary grants, and compliance. As far as sales pipeline is concerned, convert leads for learnerships, internships, skills programmes, and SDF services. .
