Driving Transformation and Empowerment in South Africa
Known for excellence in hospitality and culinary arts, François Ferreira Academy (FFA) in George proudly holds a Level 1 B-BBEE rating, ensuring opportunities for diverse learners entering the food, tourism, and hospitality industries.
Transformation is not just a compliance measure – it is part of our mission to change lives through education, training, and development. Our commitment to Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) reflects our deep belief in inclusivity, opportunity, and industry transformation.
Each of our brands within the UXi family holds an independently verified B-BBEE level, demonstrating our dedication to workforce development, economic participation, and social impact.
Why B-BBEE Matters in Education and Training
B-BBEE is more than a scorecard – it is about creating access, building skills, and ensuring that all South Africans benefit from meaningful participation in the economy. For our corporate partners, our B-BBEE standing provides confidence that investments in training and development through UXi contribute directly to transformation goals, CSI initiatives, and skills pipeline development.
