Groen Sebenza Phase II

The Groen Sebenza Phase II Programme is a bridging into work programme for the next two years. GS Phase II aims to recruit 1050 unemployed graduates (Diploma – Doctoral level) and place them nationally in different organisations (government and non-governmental) where they will be incubated (trained and mentored) to further develop their competence and confidence in the management of environment/biodiversity.

The programme goals:

1. Enable workplace-based learning for graduates aimed at building and strengthening their capacity at various levels.
2. Creation of job opportunities and possible permanent placement beyond phase II.
3. Transformation and organisational strengthening - strengthen different organizational development aspects including transformation in its totality, mentoring, proactive skills, and planning to better respond to organisational mandates and other national priorities.
4. Research informed - through research, develop a ‘live’ skills intelligence system that will enable the sector to proactively plan for skills development and track and trace the utilisation of the developed skills.
