Learnership programme to improve transformation within real estate sector
Source: SAnews.gov.zaView Original Source
The government, through a partnership including Mpumalanga Public Works and Services SETA, has launched a learnership programme to boost transformation in the real estate sector. For procurement, this signals potential upcoming tenders for training providers and may set a precedent for skills development requirements in future contracts.
Procurement teams and bidders should watch for new tenders related to training and skills development, and may need to align their B-BBEE and skills development strategies with this policy direction.
A new learnership programme was launched to improve transformation and skills in the real estate sector.
This initiative could encourage similar learnership programmes across other provinces and sectors, leading to a broader shift towards skills development as a key procurement criterion, and opening new markets for training service providers.
Training providers, SMMEs, and youth-focused organisations should monitor Mpumalanga and national tender portals for learnership implementation and related services. Property sector companies may also need to partner with accredited training providers to meet future transformation requirements.
Bidders may need to demonstrate alignment with transformation and skills development goals in future tenders, potentially increasing compliance requirements.
