Western Cape MECs Dan Plato (Community Safety) and Alan Winde (Finance, Economic Development and Tourism), will be hosting a Career Workshop in Elsies River for successful matriculants of 2011 from the area who remain unemployed.
The pilot project aims to give the youth of gang affected areas in the Western Cape an opportunity to learn valuable skills, like Curriculum Vitae (CV) writing, interview techniques and entrepreneurial skills that will equip them to get a job and steer them away from getting involved in anti-social behaviour.
Potential Employers and government Sector Education and Training Authority (SETAs) will also be present to speak to the learners about employment opportunities in their respective fields, with various Western Cape Government Departments presenting potential learnership opportunities as part of their skills development programme.
All media are invited to attend.
