Clutterbuck Associates South Africa
Clutterbuck Associates and its franchise companies are among the world’s leading experts in mentoring and coaching. Our expertise in learning dialogue (such as takes place in any mentoring or coaching relationship) is based on more than 25 years of research by Professor David Clutterbuck, now being supplemented by research around the world from many associates. As from January 2009, this expertise is now enhanced by the complementary range of expertise that came with CA becoming a division of GP UK and its international associates.
In South Africa, the company is run by three highly experienced and well-placed individuals with a combined total of over 70 years in human development work. We are one-third Black owned and two-thirds female owned, thus measuring up well against BBBEE criteria.

Seed Engine
Seed Engine is a startup accelerator, launched in 2012, aiming to coach and mentor entrepreneurs into becoming world class leaders and efficiently and successfully operate their kickass ventures. The experienced team of venture capitalists, coaches and psychologists run 2×12 week accelerator programmes per year, each consisting of a maximum of 10 startups. The startups we look for generally haven’t launched yet… They’re ideas in alpha or beta stages of development.
Entrepreneurs choose Seed Engine because of the strength of the mentorship and coaching programme, access to networks, access to capital as well as R100 000 seed capital in return for 20% equity. We look for startups that display the strongest teams (including at least one techie) that can execute and implement their highly innovative, disruptive and scalable businesses and seek to develop them into becoming high growth companies. Each program me ends in a Demo day, where each entrepreneur gets to pitch to all the angel investors, venture capitalists, corporates, government and other institutional investors.
THE GRADUATE ASSET PROGRAMME (GAP)
The Graduate Asset Programme (GAP) is a bold new initiative and forms part of our
call to the people of South Africa – ‘Let’s Get Our Country Working’! The programme
is different from other graduate programmes in that it is a business-driven initiative,
designed to boost the growth of small and medium sized businesses. We are creating
an avenue for firms to acquire youth skills at low risk, while providing an opportunity
for graduates to build the skills they need for the workplace.
With the support of the Presidential Jobs Fund and others, GAP is poised to place 24,000
graduates into internships over the next 3 years, creating around 8000 permanent jobs.

Manner.

Microsoft YouthSpark
Today’s youth face an opportunity divide – a gap between those who have access to the skills and training they need to be successful, and those who do not. With more than 75 million unemployed youth around the world, we must work together to close this divide in order to secure the future of our youth, and of our global economy.
Last year, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer announced Microsoft YouthSpark, a company-wide, global initiative to create opportunities for 300 million youth over three years. Through 30+ programs and partnerships with 186 youth-serving nonprofits, in its first year alone Microsoft YouthSpark has created new opportunities for more than 103 million young people in over 100 countries around the world. Although there is much still to do, we’re inspired by what we’ve seen: young people taking the lead in changing not only their lives but the lives of other around them, making a real impact in their local communities and on the global stage.
Explore this site to see how young people around the world are seizing opportunities to build a better future for themselves and for all of us.
