| Description: |
The activity seeks to support interventions aligned to one or more of the following objectives that meet the high-level key result: Objective 1: Accredited or industry endorsed skills programs with a green skills focus are developed through strong private sector engagement in Mpumalanga’s coal belt communities, with evidence of strong long-lasting institutional support being built. (Note: For interventions where accreditation is being sought, applicants must be clear about how the accreditation process will work, how far along it is or will be based on realistic timelines. For industry certified programs, applicants must demonstrate previous industry acceptance and/or transferability of the certificate.) Objective 2: Students and graduates, in their diverse needs and starting points, are provided accredited or industry endorsed technical knowledge and soft skills that are transferable to the workplace and have gained practical work-based learning opportunities required to complete their qualifications because of strong industry partnerships. Objective 3: Capacity of youth and graduates/course completers to meaningfully participate in the formal economy is increased by unlocking earning opportunities through local/ community/ business partnerships in identified green sector(s) while also ensuring inclusive and just growth for the historically marginalized in that field. |
