Careers
for academics, employees and wine enthusiasts
The Cape Wine Academy trains
more than 6 000 students a year. These
students are drawn from three distinct
sectors:
| • |
Students at
tertiary academic institutions
- these account for approximately
45% of our business and include all
Technikon students doing Food and
Beverage courses, as well as many
Tourism students at institutions such
as Vaal University of Technology,
and various Cookery Schools, e.g.
Sillwood and many others. |
| • |
Employees of companies in
the wine and food retail industries
- These make up approximately
10% and includes Front of House for
wine farms, Ultra Liquors, Checkers,
Spar, Hotel groups, etc |
| • |
Consumers - this
makes up approximately 45% and includes
corporate clients and general public.
|
Our entry-level courses are
aimed at all of the above and focus on the
South African wine industry and its wines.

Wine
Tourism Careers in South Africa
The hotel, tourism and leisure industries
are exciting and social business areas
for anyone looking for a varied career
that is in demand across the globe.
Tourism is the largest and fastest-growing
industry worldwide and in South Africa
and this in turn has a positive effect
upon the hotel and leisure industries,
improving services, of which wine
education is a vital element.
In 2009, the South African wine industry
celebrated 350 years of making world-class
wines. We also have a domestic population
increasingly inclined to embrace the
culture of eating out, and some 7
million tourists per year keen to
taste our local wines. |

SETA-accreditation
The Cape Wine Academy has developed
SETA-accredited industry standard service
courses aimed at creating career growth
for entry-level service-related staff (waiters).
The objective of this course is to provide
waiters with the education to grow their
careers and income by doing courses that
ultimately end in the official Cape Sommelier
programme – an internationally-competitive
qualification.
To date, the Cape Wine Academy has assisted
in placing eight Cape
Sommeliers™ with high-end hotels
in South Africa. |

Wine
Service and Tourism:
While the Cape Wine Academy
presents wine service and the preliminary
wine courses to over 48 colleges around
South Africa and to students studying both
Tourism and Hospitality education, there
are many others tertiary institutions from
poorer areas such as Tshwane North College,
South West College, LIS Springs, Mmabatho
Chef School and others that simply cannot
afford wine courses as part of their curriculum.
| We believe
this training should be a vital
part of their studies as it
provides an entry level platform
that can ensure a professional
career path. |
|
Opportunities
to assist in growing wine and
tourism education in South Africa:
| a. |
Funding
for some of the poorer
colleges doing hospitality
education who directly
work in the tourism industry
– in hotels, restaurants |
| b. |
Sponsorship for wine
service education/ courses
to be rolled out to hospitality
enterprises, particularly
in Soweto, as it is a
premium tourist destination |
| c. |
Sponsor wine service
training at identified
institutions or providing
employment within the
hospitality industry.
