Skill Development and Localization in South Africa

Seven students at intensive courses in Germany thanks to Eskom-SD&L program

Eskom Skill Development and Localization (SD&L) Program, through its strategic partnerships, help to increase the skill base of previously disadvantage groups in South Africa, primarily by increasing their employment prospects. In this project the SD&L initiative has opened doors for local suppliers to work with the international supplier, Steinbeis R-Tech (www.risk-technologies.com).
Within one of the recent actions (May-June 2015) and as a part of this SD&L program, seven South African students were invited to visit Germany, to attend an intensive 6-weeks-lomg round of courses and to train on-the job in German power plants and advanced laboratories active in the area of energy technology.
