The City’s Social Development and Early Childhood Development Department introduced the youth focused Rapid Employment and Development Initiative CT in 2021 with the aim to create opportunities for young people to improve their skills base and participate in learning programmes so as to have a better chance to be employed.
The EPWP programme caters for various training opportunities by assisting participants with personal development and exposure to the work environment. The programme also allows participants to gain valuable experience when they are placed at various community-based organisations.
‘The development and skills training programme not only strengthens interpersonal skills but also boosts confidence and the ability to communicate effectively,’ said the Mayoral Committee Member for Community Services and Health, Patricia Van der Ross. ‘The programme is an investment in the development of the metro’s youth and the ambassadors can now assist other youth to understand how to access the many services provided by the City of Cape Town. I would like to congratulate the participants who are still actively involved in the programme and who have the opportunity to learn, grow and make a success of the opportunities provided.
