In celebration of Youth Month, Tertuis Simmers, the Provincial Minister of Infrastructure, visited Conradie Park, one of the Department’s flagship projects. The site serves as a training ground for learners in the Apprenticeship Programme, aimed at nurturing the growth of 100 young individuals over three years, with a focus on fieldbased training.
The Western Cape Government’s Department of Infrastructure has set a target of creating more than 15,000 jobs within the next three years. The department plans to achieve this goal through infrastructure development projects. The Roads Infrastructure branch expects to create around 4,500 jobs each year, while the General Infrastructure and Public Works branch aims to generate 650 jobs annually.
