Established in 1878 as ' City and Guilds of London Institute ', its mission was to provide qualifications and certifications directly linked to workplace skills, as compared to pure academic degrees which certify knowledge but not competence on the job. This approach to learning and certification has made the name of City & Guilds synonymous with practical excellence in 22 occupational sectors, and 120 countries worldwide and has earned it worldwide recognition as a developer of competent and qualified workers, benchmarked against the best in the world. It awards over a million certificates every year in over 500 different vocational trades.

Proudly South African is the “buy local” campaign launched in 2001 by government, business and community organisations to boost job creation and “local” pride by promoting South African companies and their ‘homegrown’ products and services. Buying South African stimulates an increased demand for local products and services, which translates into the safeguarding of existing employment opportunities, economic growth, and the creation of more quality employment opportunities in our country. By buying Proudly South African, both consumers and businesses are making a personal contribution to nation-building. Only quality products and services carry the Proudly South African mark. |
