There are only a few days left for students to submit their entries for the RS Student Project Fund SA 2025, with the final closing date being 31 May 2025.

This is an exciting opportunity for engineering and technology students to apply for R10 000 worth of RS products to support their innovative projects. It’s more than just funding – it’s a chance for students to gain access to tools, resources, and global exposure to help bring their ideas to life.

Please note this has nothing to do with JCP/KTG and will not contribute to your hours.

Dear KTG Students

We’ve recently made major updates to our hours tracking system across all programs to ensure fairer, faster, and more consistent processing of your submissions.

✅ Please take a moment to request your updated hours summary here: Request Hours Summary.
📋 Once you’ve reviewed your hours, if you notice anything that looks incorrect or missing, kindly let us know via the contact form: Contact Us. The description should be Hours Query.

Thank you for your ongoing efforts and dedication. These improvements are part of our commitment to support your work and ensure transparency in how hours are tracked and awarded.

Warm Regards
The KTG Hours Team

Dear KTG Students

Regarding the project proposals that each group is required to submit to JCP, you may replace the community partner signature in the section designated for it with the KTG logo (click here to download) and proceed with submission. Approval from us is not necessary.

The KTG Team

Dear 2025 JCP Students,

Welcome to KTG! We’re excited to have you on board for this journey of impactful community engagement. Before we get started, there are a few important things to note:

1. KTG has almost 1000 JCP students:
   We pride ourselves on providing clear communication and making JCP as easy as possible for all our students. Please avoid contacting us if it is not necessary, as our team cannot handle 1000 individual emails. If you do NEED to contact us, please use the contact page on OUR JCP website.
2. Mandatory Community Partner Talk – Friday, 7 February
   You are required to attend the community partner talk on Friday, 7 February. An email will be sent out on Wednesday with the exact time and venue for each project session—please make sure you are there.
3. How KTG is Different:
   Unlike other projects, KTG not only focuses on planning but also manages the finances. This makes your work as JCP students easier while maximising the impact of your projects.
   Preliminary Project Guides: Here is the link to the KTG JCP website. Under your project, you will find the preliminary Project Guide with information about how the project will run. These guides will be finalised by Friday, but you can already use them to draft your project proposals, timelines, and budgets during JCP week.
4. Budgets:
   While KTG handles all finances directly, you are still required to submit a budget (this budget will not be used), and therefore, you can use the project guide to draft this budget.
5. Join the Telegram Group:
   To stay updated and communicate efficiently, please join the KTG Telegram groups. The links for each project can be found on their program page.

Looking forward to seeing you all on Friday!

Once again, welcome to the KTG family. We can’t wait to start this journey with you and see the incredible impact we will make together.

Warmest regards,
The KTG Team
