Accelerating The Jet Skilling For Employment Programme (JET SEP) Through Partnership With the African Development Bank (AfDB)
May 19 @ 10:00 am - 11:15 am
We wish to inform you that the partnership launch will now be held online via Zoom to allow for greater participation. We look forward to the opportunity to connect with you virtually.
The National Business Initiative (NBI) in collaboration with Boston Consulting Group (BCG) are pleased to invite you to celebrate the launch of a partnership through the African Development Bank’s Fund for African Private Sector Assistance (FAPA) which will see the acceleration of JET SEP into its next phase.
Background and Significance
The long-term impact of JET SEP on South Africa’s transition to a low-carbon economy includes the creation of 815,000 new jobs by 2050, although 300,000 jobs are expected to be lost in the process. As the country expands its renewable energy capacity – such as solar, wind, and transmission – and activates new green economy sectors, the demand for skilled workers in these areas will grow.
These jobs will span a range of roles, from construction and installation to the operation and maintenance of renewable energy infrastructure. The transition is also expected to stimulate local economic development by boosting private sector growth and entrepreneurship, with most of the new jobs anticipated to emerge in the private sector.
JET SEP is designed to catalyse private sector participation in addressing the country’s energy transition skills needs. Since its launch in April 2024, JET SEP has onboarded 31 influential CEOs, conducted 50+ engagements with industry working groups, and convened 30+ engagements across government, academia, and civil society.
The support through AfDB’s FAPA grant will accelerate JET SEP’s momentum and impact into the phase. Join us for this multi-stakeholder event to engage on our shared commitment to JET skilling in SA.
The Grant Will Support NBI’s JET SEP To:
• Conduct a needs assessment of the skills ecosystem in South Africa;
• Develop analytical tools to provide the private sector and government with a common and effective approach towards JET skills development
• Provide training and capacity building on skills planning & forecasting; and
• Develop effective communication and advocacy programmes for skills development as a core pillar of the country’s just energy transition.
