Groen Sebenza Phase II

The Groen Sebenza Phase II Programme is a bridging into work programme for three years. GS Phase II aims to recruit 1050 unemployed graduates (diploma – PhD 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 funding.
3. Transformation and organisational strengthening - strengthen different organisational 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.
