Question NW833 to the Minister of Higher Education and Training
20 April 2017 - NW833
America, Mr D to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training
With regard to his reply to question 2453 on 6 December 2016, how did each international trip undertaken by management executives of the Energy and Water Sector Education and Training Authority (a) directly and (b) indirectly contribute to increasing the number of beneficiaries of skills training?
Reply:
The trips provided the Energy and Water Sector Education and Training Authority (EWSETA) with a deepened understanding of what the knowledge and experiences are of the water and energy sectors in order that it better positions the entity to lead skills development and capacity building within the sector.
Due to these exposure opportunities, EWSETA could guide universities and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges in the development of infrastructure, lecturer development and research focus, etc. and enable access to the latest technologies by enriching the education and training initiatives at universities of technology and TVET colleges.
The overseas study visits also enabled EWSETA to identify strategic and relevant partnerships that strengthened EWSETA’s capacity to service its sector in line with its core mandate and research sharing initiatives.
