The Department of Employment and Labour Minister Thulas Nxesi hosted a two-day Jobs Fair in Malelane on September 14 and 15, 2023, to combat unemployment and create accessible opportunities for the youth of Mpumalanga, South Africa. The event aimed to establish a platform where work seekers and employers could interact, enhancing the capacity of the department and its partners to deliver on their employment mandate.

Work seekers could also benefit from workshops on job hunting skills, interview preparation, and work ethics.

The Mobile Employment Centre is expected to make a significant impact on the lives of countless individuals seeking employment, particularly the youth who represent the future of the nation. By providing them with the tools, resources, and support needed to secure gainful employment, the Department of Employment and Labour is taking a proactive approach in building a strong foundation for the province and the country’s continued growth and success.
