Businesses and individuals that rate higher on key drivers will be favoured due to their high rating from their customers. Key drivers include:

• Superior quality

Members can use the ATEAA platform and network to share their marketing material, new technology and market their services with other interested parties. This benefits the industry at large, while providing exposure for local businesses and entrepreneurs.

Small and micro organisations, especially in the informal sector, have limited resources to market their products & services. ATEAA will bridge this gap by creating opportunities for members to both market and receive services.

Each member adds to the impact African based professionals and businesses can make, by strengthening the ATEAA infrastructure. Experts can invest in and support new talent or introduce new technology. ATEAA is a structured body that makes it easy to reach and impact others in the market.

ATEAA has established an empowerment initiative, called “ADOPT CAMPAIGN”. Here, large businesses will be encouraged to identify and adopt a smaller and micro businesses especially in the informal sector. The goal is to consciously establish a long term relationship built on:

• Mutual benefit
• Exchange of services
• Business development
• Outsourcing
• Mentoring
• Coaching and support

ATEAA will facilitate, monitor, support and report on progress and new ways to incentivise successful projects.

ATEAA continuously provides opportunities for development, education and training for specialists and professionals. This is done to ensure continuous enhancement of competencies as informed by continuous changes in the industry, introduction of new methods, systems, processes, services and products.

Continuous development is focused on:

• Enhancing available skill sets in the industry
• Formalising skills of yet unqualified role players
• Offer verification and certification of applied skills & knowledge relevant to the industry

By ensuring training is provided in various mediums through the ATEAA Learning Academy we make it more accessible to more individuals. The association also goes as far as providing bursaries to enable more members to take part in these training initiatives as we build the talent pool for the industry.

Affiliation with ATEAA boosts respect and recognition in the eyes of prospective customers, investors, stakeholders, employers, etc. This respect and recognition is developed through members having access to learning and development opportunities. Characteristics of our learning opportunities:

ATEAA networks with various vested interested parties, training & development, governmental institutions and public and private organisations and institutions.
