Group CEO Jonathan Louw Attends WEF New Champions Annual Retreat

29 November 2024 – Our Group CEO, Jonathan Louw, just returned from this year’s New Champions Annual Retreat, a milestone for the members of the World Economic Forum’s New Champions Community—purpose-driven mid-size companies committed to furthering impact in transformational sectors.

Jonathan had the opportunity to share the benefits of collaboration within communities like this, specifically, our partnership with Tradeasia International to unlock the power of high-calibre, entrepreneurial African talent.

Together, we’ve built a transformative partnership:

  • Tradeasia Academy recruits Honoris graduates for an intensive 3-month training program, with top performers offered permanent roles.
  • Honoris students have excelled in two global recruitment rounds, earning recognition as top teams and graduate interns from over 100 global competitors.
  • This partnership elevates the Honoris graduate talent brand as a hub for world-class African talent.

Higher education is vital for global businesses’ talent sourcing, and our partnership with Tradeasia is a strong example of how employer collaborations can transform education into a launchpad for global careers.

We are proud to see Honoris graduates excelling on an international stage and grateful to Tradeasia for their trust and collaboration. Together, we’re building a bridge between education and employability that creates real-world impact.
