In response to South Africa's high youth unemployment rates, Minister of Higher Education and Training Buti Manamela has introduced a budget vote aimed at enhancing educational opportunities and job pathways for young people. The budget includes significant allocations for expanding Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges, increasing scholarships, and implementing a national career guidance initiative known as Khetha. This initiative seeks to ensure that all youth, regardless of their background, have access to career development resources. Deputy Minister Nomusa Dube-Ncube reinforced this commitment, stating that career guidance will no longer be a privilege for a select few. The Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) is actively working to provide skills development and post-school opportunities to communities, focusing on engaging youth who currently lack access to educational pathways. The initiative aims to empower young people by connecting them with various educational and training opportunities, ultimately fostering inclusive growth and addressing inequalities in the job market.
