We are excited about the employment incubator at the Struisbaai Skills. The employment incubator will be assisting the first cohort of learners from the school in finding employment as they graduate next year.
The new school has been approved by the Western Cape Education Department and will be opening in January 2025 accommodating a total of 60 learners, with an increase of 60 learners every year until a maximum capacity of 240 is reached by 2028. The total value of the project is R 50 million.
Below a list of other communities who are still in the investigation phase as to the viability of building a collaboration school in their community:
• Botrivier
• De Dooms
• Vredendal
• George
• Koue Bokkeveld
To tackle this challenge, we developed a holistic strategy focusing on three key areas:
