CETA Galvanises Young Minds

 
     
  2011 Bursaries  
     
 

One of the challenges facing CETA is to reposition and profile the construction sector as a worthy sector for young people to aspire to.

One of the ways in which CETA assists young people enter the construction sector is via bursaries. CETA’s Bursary Department is devoted to young people who have a passion for the construction sector but lack the necessary funds to study. 

There are a limited number of bursaries that CETA is offering for 2011 in the following careers:
 
     
 

University:

University of Technology:

(Degree qualification-Bsc ) (National Diploma-ND)
Bsc Architecture ND Architecture
BSc Civil Engineering ND Building
BSc Quantity Surveying ND Civil Engineering
BSc Construction Economics ND Land Surveying
BSc  Construction Management ND Quantity Surveying
Bsc Construction Studies ND Surveying
BSc Architecture Bachelor of Technician: (B. Tech)
BA of Building Arts Architecture, Construction Management, Quantity Surveying, Project Management                                  
Property Studies, Property Development  
 
     
 

The application deadline is 30 September 2010.

 
     
 

Applications have been flooding the Bursary Department since July 2009, when the bursary advert was publicised in key educator publications and exhibitions targeted at young people aiming to enter the construction sector. The Department also actively engaged with young people at strategic meetings, such as the Youth in Construction events that were held in KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng and Cape Town, where they informed them of the opportunities offered by this bursary.

The Bursary team is confident that they will select the cream of the crop, noting that approximately 70% of the applicants already meet the minimum requirements – that of 60% in Mathamtics and Science.

The Department has finalized the process of capturing the applicants onto the Bursary system. Currently, the Bursary team is liaising with applicants who have outstanding information that is required for the entire process to be conducted properly.

Once all of this leg-work has been completed, the Department will commence with the weighing process, where they consider all the provided information for the purposes of determining which of the new applicants will receive a bursary for 2011.
 
     
     
 

The weighing process is informed by:

 
     
 
  • Minimum requirements of 60% in Science and Mathamatics
  • The applicants affordability
  • Age bracket of between 16 and 35 years
  • SA Citizenship
  • Scarce and critical skills urgently needed by the construction industry
 
     
 

The Department anticipates informing the successful applicants by next year February/March at the latest.

CETA’s investment in the youth is informed by the fact that young people are integral to the future of the construction sector, and indeed the country. The organisation has therefore strategically positioned itself to play a role in ensuring that the youth of South Africa realise the personal value and the national imperative of entering the construction sector.

CETA has also signed an MOU with the National Youth Development Agency to fund skills development programmes to a tune of 2.1 Million.
