Electrifying future Energy teams
25 April 2023
Today, 25 April 2023, the Mayoral Committee Member for Energy, Councillor Beverley van Reenen, visited the City’s Energy Training Centre situated in Brackenfell to engage with the next generation of internal and external Artisans in Training. The internal Artisans in Training are currently being trained to work on City infrastructure. Some 26 learners have already received their qualifications this year and in 2022, 46 of them qualified as artisans. By the end of the year, more than 300 learners will be in various stages of the artisan training programme.
'The training centre is an essential part of the City's commitment to bringing effective and efficient service delivery to members of the public. It was important to me to visit the centre, see how it functions and to engage directly with those undergoing the training required to carry out this important work. The City attends to many thousands of service requests monthly and ensures that our teams on the ground are highly skilled,' said Councillor Van Reenen.
'The training received at the centre enables our Energy teams, now and in the future, to attend to our residents' service requests in a helpful, timeous manner. Thank you to the staff members and those they are training. We are providing an important skillset to the next generation of artisans,' said Councillor Van Reenen.
