Architect Mkhuleko Magongo ‘fired his own boss’ after being empowered by Limkokwing University.
Currently the director at Step Higher Investments, a company that deals with project management, architecture, interior design and management consultancy, Magongo said he took the leap to be his own boss after he had been to the University where he was equipped with entrepreneurship skills, thus helping him gain the confidence to establish his own business.
Studying in Limkokwing University
“I studied for an Associate Degree in Architecture and graduated 2014.”
“My stint at the university was an adventurous one which introduced me to the world of innovation and creativity. Not only was I equipped with the skills but I was also taught on how to package it and present it to the world.”
“The university equips one with innovation and creativity skills more-so because we would be given the practical part of everything we would learn. I was also taught to be my own boss through entrepreneurship skills. Limkokwing makes education fun.”
“This approach is very critical to the times we live in where we are faced with unemployment and therefore this approach seeks to address that aspect as it creates a crop of entrepreneurs which enables us to survive with or without jobs. It also opens doors for us.”
Memorable moments at Limkokwing University
“The graduation has to be the highlight of my stay at Limkokwing because that was my reward for all the hardwork I had been putting in during the course of study, especially because I was juggling work and school.”

Outstanding achievement
