Youth are making a living as artisans after being trained through a National Youth Development Agency (NYDA) and Services Sector Education and Training Authority skills development programme.
Thapelo Nsimbini, 26, from KaMhlushwa in Mpumalanga has qualified as a fitter through the Technical Skills Programme.
Fitters and turners are highly skilled craftsmen who manufacture, construct, assemble and fit components for machinery. The training taught Nsimbini how to maintain and rebuild heavy duty machines, used for making and maintaining bolts, shafts and other heavy duty equipment. She is now opening her own bearing manufacturing and refurbishing business. “Training as an artisan not only opens jobs, but can also enable one to be an entrepreneur,” she says.
