Rural entrepreneurship and transformation: the role of learnerships
Summary. A learnership program in rural South Africa significantly empowered unemployed women and youth by providing skills training and business access. The study found the program enhanced social transformation through rural entrepreneurship, though success required sustained implementation of recommended measures. The research identifies both enabling factors and barriers to rural business development in disadvantaged communities.
