JOB SHADOW
The Jakupa Job Shadow Programme is a first-hand, on the job learning experience into the Architectural and Urban Design professions. Participating students are actively involved in working with employees of various job descriptions.
The programme seeks to teach, guide and enlighten students through structured conceptual design, drawing and research tasks. Students learn the value of collaboration and get an idea of the necessary skills and competencies that would be required for the job.
The programme endeavours to maintain a strong sense of responsibility towards students in assisting them to make well informed decisions regarding their future career aspirations.

Each One Teach One
Each One Teach One consists of a series of public presentations organised and hosted by Jakupa Architects and Urban Designers. The topics for these presentations are organised strategically around industry related themes identified by the staff as being relevant to the work Jakupa produces and to the design
industry at large. Speakers are identified for their specialist knowledge and invited to present on a given topic and to participate in an open discussion.
Jakupa is committed to the continued professional development of its staff and as such encourages members to engage in and contribute to pertinent developments within the built environment industry – The Each One Teach One series forms part of this and Jakupa’s broader research project.

Bursaries
Jakupa operates a range of support programs for architectural students including internships for both Technikon and University graduates. This includes the donation of stipends received for examining or lecturing work done by our partners and the contribution of an annual award to deserving students, both of which are managed through the University of Cape Town and Cape Peninsula University of Technology. The funds tend to be used to support particular short-term needs such as the supply of model making or drawing materials. We also offer a bursary administered directly by Jakupa that contributes to tuition fees for deserving architectural students who are able to demonstrate excellence through their studies at either of the Cape Town based tertiary institutions. The award is made annually and is paid directly to the University. Eligible students need to supply a written motivation for support detailing the need and the commitment to successfully completing the course along with a transcript of studies completed.
