Free and partner-funded places
Cost should never be the barrier
At least 30% of Discover and Build places are free or partner-funded every year, through partner cohorts and outreach in communities including Soweto, Tembisa and Mamelodi, with a travel stipend where needed.
If a partner has funded your place, you’ll receive a code to enter at checkout.
Buying for a team or a cohort?
Companies can fund places for businesses in their supply chain or community, including support through the year.
