Background

About Odirile Mariri

I'm currently immersed in the dynamic realm of the National Business Initiative, where I play a pivotal role in the Economic Inclusion unit. My mission? To revolutionize South Africa's Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) landscape, transforming it into an entrepreneurial and inclusive powerhouse poised for social and economic advancement. Armed with a Bachelor's Degree in Economics and International Trade from North-West University and a Social Entrepreneurship Certificate from the esteemed Gordon Institute of Business Sciences, I bring a solid academic foundation to my endeavors. Driven by a deep-seated passion for developmental economics, I've ventured into various sectors, from agriculture to telecommunications and education. Through these ventures, I've honed my entrepreneurial mindset, always striving for sustainable impact and meaningful change. In the TVET space, I've been deeply involved in crafting entrepreneurship-focused curricula and overseeing their implementation. My approach involves collaborating closely with a diverse array of stakeholders, ensuring that our efforts translate into tangible and positive outcomes for South African youth, who, like me, are eager to seize opportunities for growth and prosperity. Join me on this exciting journey as we pave the way for a more inclusive and vibrant economic future for South Africa. Let's connect and make a difference together.
