‘Education and Skills Development’ is one of the strategic focus areas of the Kouga Wind Farm Community Development Trust. The Trust is therefore pleased to share updates on the ongoing Learnership Programmes for local young people!
Currently, the Poultry Farming and Food and Beverages Learnership Programmes are in full swing, with classes being conducted at Sakhe Family Care in KwaNomzamo. With 20 committed learners engaged in each programme, a total of 40 young people are reaping the benefits of these skill-building opportunities that could potentially lead to improved employability and earning potential, thereby reducing poverty.
Alongside these two, the Remote Work Training Programme is also ongoing. Though the programme initially started with 50 learners, the number of active participants has sadly dropped to 18.
While it is disheartening to see young people not taking full advantage of these invaluable initiatives, the Trust remains committed to investing in skills development for the community. Their focus continues to be on capacitating the local youth and paving the way for a prosperous future.
