🎓 Skills for the Future, Jobs for the Youth! 💡🔧
In the SONA2025 address, President Cyril Ramaphosa emphasized the crucial role of skills development and vocational training in shaping South Africa’s future. With a strong focus on TVET colleges, artisan training, and industry partnerships, the vision is clear: equipping young people with the right skills to meet job market demands.
📢 Key Highlights:
🔹 Scaling up TVET Colleges – More support for artisans, technicians, and vocational graduates to drive economic growth.
🔹 Work-Integrated Learning – Students will get real-world experience through apprenticeships and industry partnerships.
