GEMSBOK-KAKAMAS: The Vine Academy and Model Farm in Kakamas held their very first graduation day celebrations on Mandela Day.
First time graduates, at a first-time transformation training academy where they were thrilled to finally walk down the stage as their names were called out.
They were the first students obtaining their Certificate in Plant Production with Specialisation in Viticulture. The students were handed their certificates. Two students received merit awards at the ceremony, Dawid Hayes as the Top Achiever and Nosizwe Mkhonza as the Second Best Achiever with. A whole year successfully closed with the capping of the students at the Vine Academy and Model Farm.
On the 17th of July 2023, the Vine Academy welcomed its first group of students to come and study a National Certificate in Plant Production with Specialisation in Viticulture (NQF level 4).
Of the seventeen students, few were day students and the rest resided at the academy’s hostel as full-time participators in the course. The programme involves theory classes accompanied by practical activities in the vineyard. Since the agricultural sector is a very hands-on industry, a good practical understanding other than just theoretical knowledge is an important factor to consider when looking to employ aspirant graduates. While students are predominantly exposed to Raisin grape production and wine grape cultivation, soon table grape production will become part of their practical experiences too.
