The CoachLab @ Hub The CoachLab is part of the range of value-added services on offer at The Innovation Hub. This interpreneural programme was launched to fast track the development of world-class resources for the local high-tech sector by preparing participants – mostly ICT post-graduates - to enter the market place as active, industry-ready knowledge workers. Now in its tenth year of operation, the programme is run as a partnership between The Innovation Hub, industry and tertiary education. The Innovation Hub provides state-of-the-art infrastructure and an entrepreneurial environment, including access to entrepreneurial service providers, while EPI-USE, Cisco Systems, Vodacom and Standard Bank provide the project work, mentorship and supervision. Top post-graduate students in the ICT fields such as Computer Science, Informatics, Information Science and Engineering are recruited from The University of Pretoria, The Tshwane University of Technology and UNISA. In 2007 the programme welcomed a new partner Isett Seta, which provides the Skills development support for the post-graduate students. CoachLab participants are involved in a number of real-time industry projects with an emphasis on delivering innovative, value-adding solutions.
