The North West Provincial Government will be hosting the National Skills Authority (NSA) Provincial Consultative Workshop in Mahikeng on Friday, 30 August 2013.

Using the theme “Taking the National Skills Development Strategy to the People,” the consultative workshop is expected to bring together stakeholders from business, government, community and labour organisations.

The workshop is intended, among others, to provide an opportunity for stakeholders to deliberate on the national skills development strategy and examine challenges facing the province with regard to post school education and training needs.

Premier Thandi Modise, who is scheduled to open the worship on Friday morning, says the workshop comes at the right time.  

“We are prioritising skills development as an integral part of our effort to empower our people. We are hopeful that delegates attending this consultative workshop will emerge at the end of their sessions with recommendations that will enable us to fast-track the implementation of the national skills accord,” said Premier Modise ahead of the one-day workshop.

The event that is scheduled to commence at 08h30 on Friday morning at Cookes Lake, Mahikeng.-TDN
