About Us :: Social Responsibility
South Africa has a critical shortage of young engineers and scientists, especially from historically disadvantaged communities. Seldom do they consider engineering as a career choice. SUNSTEP seeks to address these problems. The main goal of SUNSTEP is to promote technological awareness and improve the technological capability of mainly disadvantaged learners and educators. The programme works closely with the Education Department in order to remain aligned to the Curriculum. It offers an integrated hands-on component, introducing electricity and electronics to schools, and exposing learners to basic electrical and electronic concepts. SUNSTEP is active in 5 provinces: Western Province, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Free State and Eastern Cape. Over the last 12 years, 199665 learners countrywide have been equipped by the programme.

With notable foresight, the Reunert College, established in 1993, acts as a cornerstone of the Reunert group’s strategy to improve the educational standards of children from historically disadvantaged communities and to fulfill a strategic support role in developing the group’s future workforce. To strengthen this initiative, several group employees are actively involved in numerous government and private sector initiatives, all of which are aimed at improving matriculation results and enhancing, in particular the competencies of educators in mathematics, science and related technological subjects. To date almost R25 million has been spent to promote employment through the education system provided by the college.
