Upskill for Africa was formed by Dr Nosisa Sipambo and Desiree Channing out of their common passion for improving peoples lives by teaching them how to learn. They saw the need for a bridging programme for learnerships, because a successful individual needs to be able to bridge the gap between theory and practical to ensure work skills.

Being able to learn, and apply what one has learned, is fundamental to success in life.

Prior to persuing her passion for helping others, Nosisa qualified as a Paediatrician from the University of the Witwatersrand and the College of Medicine South Africa.
