Bateleur Holdings Group

Intern Initiative - Established in January 2004

In January 2004, Lofentse Koboekae, an Information Technology student, joined Bateleur for his internship. He was given the opportunity to experience all aspects of Bateleur business and took well to the challenge. After completing his internship Lo worked as part of a Bateleur team on a client project. Lofentse was approached by the client to take a permanent position with them. Bateleur are very proud to have been part of his early career development and continue to monitor his career growth.

In late 2006 we signed up a young Intern to assist with our in-house server infrastructure. He stayed with Bateleur for two years, moving on to a client site in February 2009, to gain more experience on a bigger site.

Bateleur will continue with the Internship programme to the benefit of both Bateleur and the interns.

Scholar Initiative - Established in 2004

Bateleur had identified the need to empower previously disadvantaged scholars and have identified specific schools to support.

RAUCALL school in Brixton, Johannesburg.

This school caters for children from disadvantaged communities who show the potential to study at tertiary level provided they are given the right academic opportinuities at a school like Raucall.

Bateleur sponsored selected pupils with school fees, stationary, books and uniforms.

Our first student was Mpho in Grade 11 in 2004 and Grade 12 in 2005. Mpho matriculated and was awarded a bursary to attend university. Our second student was Nelisiwe in Grade 12 in 2006. Nelisiwe matriculated receiving a bursary to study a B.Comm. at Johannesburg Uninversity. Our third student,Mbali in Grade 11 in 2007 and Grade 12 in 2008. Mbali matriculated and was awarded a bursary to study at the university of Johannesburg. Our fouth student, Lesibi is in Grade 11 in 2009. Our fifth student Mpho is in Grade 11 in 2009. Bateleur commit to following the progress of the relevant scholars and to take a genuine interest in the empowering of HD youth.

Tiger Kloof School , Vryburg, North West Province - Started 2007

In 2007, Bateleur selected this school in the North West Province, since the Provincial Government is a key client of Bateleur.

Bateleur sponsor the school fees, stationery, text books and uniforms for two pupils each year. The appropriate learners will be identified by the school board.
