Young people from Ward 86 in Lwandle completed a basic computer-skills training course conducted by the City of Cape Town on Friday 12 June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The five-day training programme was held at Nomzamo Community Hall<\/a> in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Programme facilitator Breyton Arendse said the training ran from Monday 8 June to Friday 12 June. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Training aims to improve employment prospects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

He said the programme, which aimed to empower young people, saw 30 participate. “We taught them basic computer skills, including how to use Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint. This programme was identified by the ward councillor. The participants are between the ages of 18 and 35. Our job was to equip them with the skills they need.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He highlighted the importance of keeping up with technological advancements, adding that people are living in a modern society where computer literacy is a requirement in many workplaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Young residents encouraged to seize development opportunities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One person who attended, Phiwe Paliso (24) from Greenfields, said it is important for young people to expand their knowledge continuously. She described the training as helpful and beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I heard about the programme through the councillor’s office. Since I am unemployed, I decided to participate to improve my qualifications. I will add the certificate to my curriculum vitae [CV]. It will help when I apply for jobs.” Paliso completed her matric in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She urged her peers not to sit back and do nothing, but instead take advantage of opportunities that can improve their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ward allocation funding supports community empowerment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ward 86 councillor Xolani Diniso<\/a> said the programme was funded through the ward-allocation budget. He described it as a stepping stone towards a better future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“All the young people here are unemployed. We are trying to empower them with skills that will improve their chances of finding employment.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He stressed the programme forms part of efforts to bring services closer to communities and create opportunities for residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
