About the Section
Zululand District Municipality's Skills Development Training
Programme offers a two-week course on Food Gardens and a three
week-course on Home- Based and Child Care at no cost. This
programme is linked with the Departments of Health, Agriculture and
Social Welfare. Approximately 3000 community members have benefited
through these
programmes since 2000 including the provision of seedlings. The
Youth has shown great interest in these programmes, hence we have
seen more participation from them.
The municipality is also running a learnership programme of 20 learners on mixed farming (horticulture) as a pilot project under the auspices of the Agricultural SETA. These Learnership programmes will also be spread to the entire district in the course of 2006. Presently, four skills training programmes on vegetable and crop production which had been conducted within the district have benefited 136 community members. In 2006, 140 community members will also benefit through this initiative.
The Zululand District Municipality is currently involved in three internships in the financial field and is investigating on opening further opportunities.
