The WorkFit Campaign seeks to positively impact youth employment in South Africa by helping public TVET colleges & universities develop work readiness

Pinned

We call on #TVET colleges and employers to share their partnership stories at workfitcampus.org.za/sensemaker - so we can build our understanding of the critical success factors of these key #YouthEmployment engagements #NBIYouthEmployment #MoreGrowth2018 #JobsSummit2018

Companies are willing to work close with TVET colleges but they complain about the attitude of the students when they are doing practical training @ButiManamela #EmployerVisit #DecadeoftheArtisan
