Go for Gold Annual Industry Fundraising Dinner for aspirant engineers

Everyone at Go for Gold are excited to share that we will once again be hosting our prestigious Annual Industry Fundraising Dinner on 28 July 2022, after not being able to do so since 2019 due to Covid-19. We invite all Go for Gold partner companies, donors, alumni, friends and family to join us for a fun evening at GOLD Restaurant at R1000 per ticket or bulk seating table sales.

This year we are delighted to welcome Dr Philippa Tumubweinee as our guest speaker, a senior lecturer and outgoing Head of School at Architecture Planning & Geomatics, University of Cape Town.

Go for Gold is an award-winning ‘education-to-employment’ public-private initiative, founded in 1999 and is a fully integrated, four-phased programme initiated by the construction sector. It was established in response to the critical shortage of candidates from disadvantaged communities entering the industry. 

The Go for Gold programme is Structured Programme recognised by DTI BBBEE Codes and is designed as a skills development pipeline supporting academic advancement in STEM educations, assisting talented youth from disadvantaged communities who wish to pursue technical vocations in the built environment and varied manufacturing industries. 

Go for Gold’s fundraising event is well attended by heads of industry from construction and manufacturing sectors, government, academia, donors to Go for Gold, prospective industry partners and alumni. Funds raised on the night are utilised for, among other, weekly Maths and Science tuition classes, Life skills training, holiday programmes and career guidance from Go for Gold and our technical partners. All donations carry tax and BBBEE scorecard benefits.

Tickets can be purchased from our office by contacting info(a)goforgold.org.za

Max capacity: 270 (Covid-19 measures in place)
