PPC Bursary Programme 2023
PPC can trace its beginnings back to more than 125 years to the outskirts of Tshwane (formerly known as Pretoria), South Africa. Incorporated in 1892 as the first cement manufacturer in South Africa, we have extended our reach across sub-Saharan Africa over the years as a resilient organisation adapting and responding to changes in various operating environments.
PPC has a well-developed portfolio in growing markets across sub-Saharan Africa, which allows us to respond to the everchanging economic, operational and political environments.
BURSARY DESCRIPTION
First launched in 2008, PPC‟s bursary scheme is an investment in both the company and country’s greater future. It has seen 30 students graduate during this time: a combination of those from its community programme started in 2008 and its “children of employees” programme which was initiated in 2015.
The scheme is aligned to meeting current and future skills requirements of the group and greater sector, with a strong focus on chemical, electrical, mechanical, mining and industrial engineering. Environmentally-oriented degrees are also being supported.
