ADVERTORIAL DELOITTE EMPOWERS ORT JET MENTORS 2014 HAS ALMOST COME TO AN END AND THERE is no better time to reflect on the moments where ORT JET was able to connect and make an impact. The ORT JET mentors have had a fantastic year attending business enrichment forums, proudly hosted and sponsored by Deloitte. Since establishing the ORT JET and Deloitte partnership in January 2012, “Deloitte values its partnership with ORT JET, with whom we share a passion for developing the talent and potential of South Africans to the betterment of our country.” DAVE WILSON, CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER OF CLIENTS AND INDUSTRIES AT DELOITTE mentors have joined enrichment programmes that have become dynamic drivers for professional growth and development. The events hosted by Deloitte aim to equip mentors with the best business acumen to ensure the highest quality of expertise for mentees on ORT JET’s Mentorship Programme. Over the last 12 months, ORT JET mentors were given the opportunity to learn from industry experts from Deloitte, covering a range of business topics while networking amongst each other. With ORTJET’s active mentor base of over 600 volunteers in both Johannesburg and Cape Town, the impact this shared knowledge and networking achieved is phenomenal and a true testament to the incredibly generous spirit of our community.
