Empowerment begins with us! The Polyoak Family Educational Foundation provides funding, financial support and academic guidance to help Polyoak employees, their children and the community around Polyoak to access quality education.
POSITIVE RESULTS
PFEF’s bursary programme has had an 100% employment track record, with graduates entering the workforce as dental assistants, legal secretaries, accountants, mechatronics engineers, fitters and turners, electricians, hairdressers and more.
STRATEGIC APPROACH
Selection Criteria
The programme is open to children of PPG employees who were previously disadvantaged. It offers bursaries to matriculants at all academic levels, and focuses on the average child that may otherwise be overlooked.
It targets learners who have the determination to study further and improve themselves.
Advisory Support
PFEF provides guidance and support for families transitioning from school to tertiary studies. Appropriate course selection is crucial to achieving meaningful employment. The Trust collaborates with the child and parents, to identify relevant courses for their aptitude and interests, taking into consideration the future skills demand.
Practical Experience
Vocational training and courses offering practical experience are prioritised to maximise employment potential. Graduates are also assisted with CV and work readiness preparation.
Community Role Models
The bursary does not require a work-back period, and graduates are discouraged from joining their parent to work at Polyoak, to broaden their horizons and become community role models.
