Agri Worker Census 2016

Rural Development Farmworker (Agriworker) Census: Across all 5 districts i.e. Cape

Winelands, Cape Metro, Central Karoo, Eden, West Coast – indicate a 15-66 % youth

unemployment

Cape Winelands and West Coast highest rate of incomplete matric- needs training

programmes to bridge the lack of a matric qualification. Learnership and accredited

short courses that can lead to a qualification could go a long way in filling this gap

Cape Metro of concern- highest matric rate , yet highest matric unemployment- need

for more specialised training- offering career guidance, exposure to Agriculture as

possible career through internships and bursaries can provide possible opportunities

for youth




Though project has received provincial , national, and international recognition

Recognised by CPSI for entry in the World Government Summit 2018 Innovation- Observatory

of Public Sector Innovation, it must be expanded to address the increasing youth

unemployment especially in the critical areas mentioned.
