The people who brought free education to South Africa, with the creation of the Maharishi Institute, CIDA City Campus, and The Branson School of Entrepreneurship, are revolutionizing outsourcing by coupling it with a unique education institution for the first time in South Africa, with the launch of ‘Invincible Outsourcing’.

This is an initiative that combines Consciousness-Based Education, and a state-of-the-art technology-hub, with business process outsourcing.   

On Thursday 28 May, with the launch of a 225-seat call centre, and a large data-capture facility, the lives of thousands of young South Africans will change over the next ten years.

For the first time, young South Africans unable to access tertiary and vocational educational programmes, will be able to ‘learn and earn’—putting themselves through the last part of high school, 25 core life and professional-skills in a two-year Foundation Programme, and business degree, or vocational studies, providing basic support to their family while they are doing it.  

Part tertiary and vocational education, part technology training, part entrepreneurship in action, ‘Invincible Outsourcing’ is the first of its kind, combining three business models into one. The school was established by Dr Taddy Blecher, South African social entrepreneur, Dr Richard Peycke, and a team of leading experts in Consciousness-Based Education in 2008.   (read more)
