City ignites the future with new Energy apprentices in training The City’s state of the art Energy Training Centre is providing essential training and accredited certifications to artisans in the field of electricity work. The Energy Training Centre, based in Brackenfell, enables future Energy teams to attend to residents’ electricity requests and support the maintenance and upgrade programmes of the City’s rapidly expanding electricity infrastructure.  ‘The training centre offers a comprehensive 27-month long curriculum comprising various aspects of electrical engineering, including basic electrical principles, electrical safety and regulations, wiring and installation techniques, switchgear maintenance and learner operator training, among others. These skills are critical considering the rapid expansion of our electricity network with a planned three-year R4 Billion infrastructure pipeline. ‘The City’s Energy Directorate is committed to the development of our workforce and we look forward to seeing our future artisans in the field to assist residents in the city,’ said Mayoral Committee Member for Energy, Alderman Xanthea Limberg. The centre is an accredited Skills Development Provider (SDP) for the Electrician Trade by the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO).

Cape Town a catamaran-building mecca In the past year, Cape Town boat builders have produced around 330 catamarans, the majority of which are exported. This is more than any other city in the world. This demand for Capetonian marine products is largely thanks to the City’s funding of special-purpose vehicle BlueCape, which promotes the local boat-building industry and supports skills development. In addition to the manufacture of catamarans, South Africa is also highly regarded for producing top-quality semi-rigid boats and rescue craft, says BlueCape, and several manufacturers operate in this sub-sector. Moreover, the demand for these diverse boat types has led to a rise in the number of component and equipment manufacturers producing items such as sails, masts, rigging components, marine-grade rope, aluminium doors, upholstery, carbon-fibre hatches, engine components, and stainless-steel accessories. Cape Town’s marine manufacturing industry is valued at over R3 billion per annum and is growing at an impressive rate of over 17% annually. As demand grows, so too does the need for an ever-expanding skilled workforce. This is why the City proudly supports BlueCape to drive work-readiness initiatives and promote the Mother City’s boat-building industry among investors. #TourismMonth #ChooseCapeTown #TourismIndustry

Warm welcome to new Water and Sanitation chief Earlier this year, Leonardo Manus took up the position of executive director of Water and Sanitation. Born and bred in Cape Town, he holds a BTech degree in Civil Engineering and a postgraduate diploma in Business Management and is currently studying towards a master’s degree in Engineering Management. Leonardo has a proven record of performance excellence, and his decades of public-sector experience include 13 years in a senior management capacity. Having started his career in local government, he moved to the national Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) in January 1998, where he proceeded to serve in various capacities. Prior to joining the City, he was DWS’s chief director of Infrastructure: Operations and Management, while also acting as deputy director-general of Infrastructure Management. His extensive knowledge and experience in the water and sanitation environment includes a specific focus on large-scale infrastructure development, financial management and strategic planning. The design and introduction of DWS’s national drinking water quality regulation programme as well as the Green Drop certification for wastewater services management count among Leonardo’s accomplishments. #MondayMotivation #StaffAppreciation
