IMM Graduate School

We've been hearing big words lately. Reshoring. Nearshoring. Friendshoring. 📦

But what does it all mean?

These are not buzzwords. They are terms showing up in every supply chain job description right now. They're shorthand for how global supply chains are being redrawn.

They matter, and the professionals who want to matter need to know them. The supply chain professionals South Africa needs right now aren't the ones who just move boxes; they are the ones who know strategically how.

If you want to be the professional that stands out, apply for one of our industry-relevant Supply Chain Qualifications: https://nuel.ink/OS91QG

Choosing a tertiary institution for your child is one of the biggest decisions you'll make as a family. Here are the five questions worth asking before you sign anything:

1. Is the institution accredited and registered? (SAQA + DHET - both publicly verifiable.)
2. What NQF level is the qualification, and does it empower further study?
3. What support is in place for distance learners?
4. How does this qualification connect to actual employment?
5. What's the total cost beyond tuition?

An institution that answers these five questions clearly is one worth taking seriously. Full guide for parents and learners: https://nuel.ink/cE1Rlo

Most posts today will talk about what was lost in 1976. That history matters, and we know that. We also know that real change happens now, in the present.

The young people who took to the streets that day weren't fighting for a memorial. They were fighting to be the generation that would have access to learning. To choice. To a future built on more than what they were given.

They built the foundation for equal education in South Africa. Are you taking full advantage of that?

To the young South Africans building, studying, applying, working, starting over: Have you considered all the educational opportunities available to you?

to an incredible evening of connection and collaboration at the IMM Graduate School's Alumni Connect event in Harare on 4 June.

A big thank you to our main host for the evening, Carol Mawoyo (Marketing and Business Development Consultant: GGF), as well as Carol Ncube (Regional Country Manager: IMM Graduate School Zimbabwe) and Irene Gregory (CEO of IMM Institute) for bringing our vibrant community together.

It was an honour networking with fellow alumni like Shalmore Khuleya, Tim Mutsikwi, Saidi Phiri, and Enos Kawara, among many other industry peers.

We are also excited to celebrate Takudzwa Mhaka, Sales and Marketing Specialist: ZimParks, who was the recipient of the IMM Institute Short Course prize.

We look forward to seeing you again!
