Fin24 reports that the Durban Chamber of Commerce and Industry, in partnership with the Manchu group and MICT SETA, recently launched a three-month unemployed youth skills and enterprise development programme.
The Chamber will be project managing the programme that the Manchu Group will facilitate over the next three months. Sixty unemployed youth have been selected to participate in the programme restricted to the information and technology (IT) and agriculture sectors. The enterprise development partnership was announced in January 2019 with the calling for applicants under the age of 35 who were unemployed and had a business-related qualification. The response was apparently massive. The programme comprises eight modules which are SETA accredited. Content focus is on project management and work readiness. The MICT SETA will be giving all candidates a stipend of R2,850 monthly until the end of the three-month programme. The Durban Chamber's chief operations officer Zee Zeka-Ngcamu commented that it was very important for young graduates to be equipped for the 4th Industrial Revolution.
