Episode 3: South Africa has an essential skills shortage. How can we fix it?
South Africa has made great strides over the past few decades but essential skills shortages are still a barrier to growth. However, this can be overcome with key international partnerships. In episode three of #SharingTheSun, our YouTube series which highlights the various ways South Africa and Japan work together, Lalla Hirayama takes a closer look at the Artisans Development Project for TVET colleges. The Japanese Government, through the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), has partnered with South Africa's Department of Higher Education and Training to equip lecturers and students with Fitting and Turning skills and key skills in the automotive industry, and aims to increase the employment opportunities for the TVET graduates.
