DP Ramaphosa to chair 16th HRDCSA meeting

Friday, June 10, 2016

Pretoria - Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa will today chair the 16th Human Resource Development Council (HRDCSA) meeting.

The Presidency said the meeting will discuss the country’s revised Human Resource Development Strategy.

Deputy President Ramaphosa will go on a tour of the Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator Centre, where the meeting will be held, to showcase the centre’s contribution to youth development and employment. 

“The centre finds, screens, trains and places first-time youth work-seekers who are marginalised from existing corporate recruitment networks.

“The work by the centre is directly in line with the last HRDC summit’s call for partnerships amongst various players in the pursuit of a skilled workforce in South Africa,” said the Presidency.

The HRDC is a national multi-tiered stakeholder advisory body established in 2010 under the leadership of the Deputy President and under the management of the Higher Education and Training Minister to build the human resource development base required to ensure a prosperous and inclusive South African society and economy. - SAnews.gov.za
