DEVELOPING LEADERSHIP FOR DUT STUDENTS

All DUT students are eligible to enrol in a challenging and stimulating Leadership course that will develop your understanding about leadership and its possibilities.

The course is offered by the Durban Leadership Institute, a joint project of DUT, the African Centre for the Constructive Resolution of Disputes (ACCORD) and the International Centre of Nonviolence (ICON).

The course will be delivered using the blended learning approach. The course will commence in February 2014 and will include a series of eight evening contact sessions (meetings, discussions, presentations, videos and so on). These sessions are designed to expose students to some great leaders who will reflect on their understanding and experience of leadership. These 8 contact sessions will be supported by the provision of online learning materials, supplementary readings, multimedia resources and discussion forums using the BlackBoard e-learning platform.

Mentorship and group community projects, which are integral to developing leadership, are part of this course. Students will undertake a community project whilst working in groups to develop their abilities in team work, conflict management and group dynamics.

Students who participate fully and complete the community project will receive a Certificate of Attendance.

Students will not be required to pay any tuition fees for the course.

If you are interested, access the application form for the Leadership Programme through the DUT Student Portal (Download here). The Durban Leadership Institute will screen all the applications received and select a maximum of 30 students for enrolment in the course using set criteria based on the responses provided in the Application form.

ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT UNIT

The Enterprise Development Unit, otherwise known as EDU, is an education, training and skills development unit wholly owned by the Durban University of Technology (DUT).Short courses

DUT is a public higher education institution formed as a result of the merger between the Natal Technikon and the ML Sultan Technikon. DUT wishes to position itself as an academic institution of choice that excels in teaching, research and community engagement. Each of these activities is pursued through close interaction with the institution’s environment: industry, business, and the community.

DUT wishes to cultivate and nurture these links because in doing so it strengthens its ties with industry. It is for these reasons that the Enterprise Development Unit was established. In this manner, the University is then able to play a key role in skills development and in SMME development, both areas that are important to employment creation and growth in the country.

EDU is a recognized leader in the industry and has built an incredible record over the past years by providing excellent service to its clients in Southern Africa and abroad. EDU also extends to the provision of various kinds of training such as short courses, learnerships, SMME Development and other types of skills development provisions. The Unit has consequently developed an infrastructure, management structure, systems and processes which are able to adequately provide direction, leadership, strategic planning, management and access to resources for all Skills Development projects locally, provincially, and nationally.

This efficient and cost-effective infrastructure has been used to deliver many programs to date with the assistance from our University entities, such as:

  • Technology, Innovation and Partnerships
  • Faculty of Accounting and Informatics
  • Faculty of Applied Science
  • Faculty of Arts and Design
  • Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment
