The DA in Merafong assisted job-seekers in Merafong in compiling and printing their own professional CV’s. The development of a professional CV, and the pre-interview preparation process is a fundamental part of competing in the job-seeking space.
IT compiled CV’s for over 45 job seeking residents, which gives them a hand-up to access the job market. In an Open Opportunity Society for All government will strive to create circumstances that allow each and every citizen that so wishes to be skilled for labour market participation and to actively participate in the economy in accordance with his or her desires. A job gives people dignity for themselves and their families. It provides an opportunity for people to develop and realise their potential.
Key job-creation initiatives that will be implemented include: Establishing Job Zones near ports and airports, and in rural areas, to attract investment into industries that employ many people; Upscaling the Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) to provide temporary relief from unemployment and much needed skills development as the DA has successfully implemented in the City of Cape Town. Creating a national government internship programme based on the successful model used in the Western Cape.
Introducing a real Youth Wage Subsidy to address high levels of youth unemployment. Government’s current intervention, the Employment Tax Incentive (ETI), has failed to provide young South Africans with job opportunities they need; instead, it has benefited middlemen and big employers.
