Professor/Associate Professor/Senior Lecturer in Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management one post
The unitalentza website was launched out of necessity. It is a direct off-shoot of Academic Partners , the pre-eminent talent accessing and assessing service company within the South African Higher Education sector. A company that started 44 years ago in the commercial sector, but which in the last 26 years, has focused almost exclusively in the HE sector. Having founded the company, Jimmy Wayland took retirement in May 2022, but as a swansong objective, he undertook to develop Unitalentza website to uphold the same values, levels of confidentiality, trust and reliability as the founding company. Anything less and Jimmy would like to hear about it.
Unitalentza is a small devoted team of professionals who pledge to keep all registered candidate information secure and confidential and at a level which the registered candidate has the exclusive right to choose.
In his quest to achieve the best website possible, Jimmy is ready to receive comments and/or suggestions, negative or positive, on his personal email: jimmy@ep.co.za
