A highlight of the event was the Workers Development Forum’s presentation on their six-month short courses for individuals aged 18 and above. These courses are carefully designed to balance practical skills development with academic knowledge, ensuring participants are well-prepared for employment in multiple sectors. The registration fee of R2500 is complemented by a monthly stipend of R4000, allowing participants to support themselves during the program. Courses are delivered through a combination of online and physical classes, providing flexibility while ensuring quality learning experiences.

What sets the WDF program apart is its employment placement component. Upon completing the six-month course and obtaining a recognized certificate, participants are guaranteed placement in partnering companies, opening doors to permanent employment opportunities. Certificates awarded are recognized by a wide range of employers, ensuring that skills acquired are transferable across industries. This approach directly addresses the persistent challenge of unemployment in Tembisa and nearby communities, offering not just education but a reliable path to stable income.
