Better planning needed to ensure jobs for skilled
persons in water, energy sectors
About 300 000 graduates in the energy and water sectors in South
Africa are seeking employment, some of whom even re-enter into
learnerships to stay in the economically active loop, says Energy
and Water Sector Education and Training Authority acting CEO Mpho
Mookapele.
Speaking at the Skills Development Summit, on Tuesday, she
questioned where these sectors were going wrong in terms of
employing those have received training and skills development. She
also suggested that there was something wrong with the skills
development system at a national level, with a lack of proper
skills planning.
