Discussion | Filling gaps in SA's job market

JOHANNESBURG - There’s a shortage of several scarce skills in South Africa, with one of the areas affected the most being artisans.

Young people are being encouraged to choose scarce skills. And learning the artisan trade can open many doors for young South Africans.

With the high youth unemployment rate, artisanal training can help solve the unemployment crisis. How can we use artisan skills to fill the gaps in the country's job market?
