GE, partners launch Next Engineers programme in Johannesburg
From Creamer Media in Johannesburg, this is the Real Economy Report.
Sashnee Moodley:
Multinational General Electric, in partnership with nonprofit organisations FHI360 and PROTEC, as well as the Gauteng Department of Education officially launched the Next Engineers programme in Johannesburg, last month, a $2.5-million investment aimed at increasing the diversity of young people in the engineering sector.
Tasneem Bulbulia:
The programme will provide more than 3 500 learners between the ages of 13 and 18 with hands-on exposure to engineering concepts and careers and, ultimately, award financial support to students pursuing engineering degrees.
General Electric South Africa CEO Nyimpini Mabunda expands on the programme, as well as why Johannesburg was chosen as one of the cities to host it.
