ENERGY

The challenges of the energy sector associated with a growing population, delays in infrastructure projects, as well as inadequate investment in maintenance and refurbishment position effective skills development as a key growth driver for the sector.

WATER

South Africa’s low annual rainfall, ageing water infrastructure, shortage of technical water skills and increased demand means that now more than ever, skills in the water sector are critical to the country’s future water supply.

SUSTAINABILITY

South Africa’s energy challenges and government support for independent power producers has resulted in remarkable growth in the renewable energy sector that presents numerous opportunities for skills development.
