Unemployed youth in Cape Town are encouraged to apply for various skills development and training programmes that have been opened by the City of Cape Town.
The City said its Education, Training and Development framework has been approved.
“The City is now once again able to offer the following opportunities: the Work Integrated Learning; Skills Programme; Infrastructure Skills Development Grant and the Graduate Internship Programme to the unemployed youth in Cape Town,” the municipality said.
Youth aged between 18 and 35 including university graduates are encouraged to apply for these skills development opportunities before February 1.
Applications will be recorded on an open database until it is reviewed.
Successful applicants will then be contacted when opportunities for these programmes become available during the financial year.
Mayoral Committee Member for Corporate Services, Alderman Theresa Uys urged the youth to apply: “These programmes will provide learners with the stepping stone they need to jumpstart their careers. I am extremely excited about the Infrastructure Skills Development Grant programme as well as this provides a unique opportunity to graduates in engineering and science to get exposure in various science and engineering fields at the City.”
