BLACK ELEPHANT VINTNERS MCC MAGNUM: Celebrate Good times, come on!– The South African government recently published a revised critical skills list. This register of 142 occupations includes those skills the government considers to be critically needed in the country and fundamental to stimulate economic growth and development.
The country’s official unemployment rate stands at 32.6% – the highest in the world, according to the World Bank. But to ensure that we build the skills base that South Africa so desperately needs, we can’t afford to focus on current job seekers. Learners in Grade 9 or preferably those even younger, must be guided in taking the right subjects to increase their opportunity to secure employment after leaving university.
Started 14 years ago, and sponsored by Sanral, STEM in ACTION is an education support programme within the Faculty of Engineering, the Built Environment and Technology, where learners and educators are taught by Mandela University facilitators, in laboratory sessions at our Missionvale Campus. With the Selected Learner Project , Grade 10 and 11 learners who achieve 65% or more in physical science and maths and have the potential to study for a degree in engineering are chosen. Learners take part in experiments that they would not have at their own schools, including exposure to coding and programming interventions.
Nelson Mandela University is one of six South African universities that form part of the University of the Free State Collaboration. UFS has developed two programmes, Family Maths and Key Concepts in Science, that are being introduced to schools in the metro. The university also trains facilitators to teach teachers.
