Deputy Minister Boitumelo Moloi Unveils Employment Centres in Johannesburg and Germiston
The Deputy Minister of Employment and Labour, Ms. Boitumelo Moloi, has recently launched two new Employment Centres in Johannesburg and Germiston. These centers aim to combat the high unemployment rates in the region and offer assistance to those seeking employment.
The Employment Centres are situated at the Johannesburg Labour Centre and were inaugurated by Ms. Moloi. She urged the communities of Ekurhuleni and Johannesburg to guard these centers against criminal activities to ensure their longevity and to benefit the job seekers in the area.
Ms. Moloi emphasized the importance of continuous engagement with the youth to prevent them from falling victim to substance abuse. She suggested that the Employment Centres and mobile units could be used for education and awareness programs, as well as life skills training for young people.
Collaboration between the private sector and other government bodies is crucial in addressing issues such as education and skills development, according to Ms. Moloi. The Employment Centres and mobile units aim to foster collaboration with employers and training authorities within the Gauteng Region.
Johannesburg’s unemployment rate is currently at 32.7 percent, while Germiston’s Labour Centre has an unemployment rate of 33.4 percent. The Germiston Employment Centre is situated near various public and private colleges, training service providers, and other critical institutions.
Ms. Moloi’s efforts to open these Employment Centres symbolize the South African government’s commitment to addressing the unemployment crisis in the region. These centers, with their easy access to public transport and proximity to educational institutions, are likely to provide essential employment support to the communities in Johannesburg and Germiston.
While the Employment Centres may not entirely resolve the unemployment challenges, they signify a positive step forward. By collaborating with employers, training authorities, and other stakeholders, these centers have the potential to make a significant impact on the lives of job seekers in Gauteng.
The inauguration of the Employment Centres offers hope to the residents of Ekurhuleni and Johannesburg. By protecting these centers and utilizing their resources, the community can work together to create a more prosperous future for its residents.
