ANA reports that that the Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA) was due on Wednesday to launch a public service graduate recruitment scheme in a bid to tackle high level of graduate unemployment in SA.
The scheme was approved by Cabinet in December last year in response to the recommendation of the National Development Plan (NDP) that, in order to achieve a professional public service, the State needed to attract into its employment the best graduates and youth with potential. The DPSA said that during the launch at the University of Johannesburg, dialogue with stakeholders would explore perspectives on youth development initiatives in the public service and interventions to promote it as a career of choice. It added that, amongst other objectives, the scheme would serve to strengthen the talent pipeline for the public service’s future capacity – especially in scarce occupations and critical areas of service delivery.
