HeraldLive reports that in a massive boost for unemployed youth, the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro announced on Monday that 1,800 bursaries are up for grabs for those interested in pursuing a career in the transport industry.
In partnership with the Transport Education and Training Authority (Teta), about R34-million has been set aside for the next two years as the city places transport at the centre of its economic growth strategies. The beneficiaries of the bursaries would be qualifying and deserving youth from disadvantaged areas of the metro. An agreement between the municipality and Teta – which will fund the R34-million in bursaries – will be signed on Thursday.
