Pretoria – Deputy Minister of Communications Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams has applauded Media24, the Fibre Processing and Manufacturing (FP&M) SETA and the Association of Independent Publishers (AIP) for developing a training programme.
The Deputy Minister said the partnership had allowed 200 independent publishers to become digitally savvy.
“I would like to applaud all three partners, firstly for AIP for identifying the digital needs among our independent publishers, the SETA for funding this programme and lastly for Media24 for training these publishers to become digitally savvy.
“This partnership shows that by working together much more can be accomplished in the advancement of South Africans,” she said.
The Deputy Minister was speaking at the celebration of the partnership between Media24, FP&M SETA and the AIP in Johannesburg on Wednesday evening.
She further commended the independent publishers who took part in this training drive.
“It is an established fact that people often struggle to adjust to change. In a fast changing and increasingly technologically driven world, those who do not change risk becoming irrelevant or being left behind.
“The value of education and training cannot be overstated,” she added. – SAnews.gov.za
