Stellenbosch University’s Water Institute (SUWI) and the Energy and Water Services Sector Education and Training Authority (EWSETA) have signed a Memorandum of Agreement to address the critical need for specific technical and management skills in the water and energy sector.

To be phased in over the next three years, the main objective of the programme will be to increase the number of students in scarce-skills areas such as the water and energy sector at Further Education and Training (FET) Colleges in South Africa.
