The Mpumalanga DARDLEA (Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, Land and Environmental Affairs) has taken a significant step towards empowering young agricultural professionals.
A total of 123 agriculture graduates who were part of the DARDLEA’s unemployed graduate programme recently received their Certificates of Competence in Agribusiness Management from the TUT(Tshwane University of Technology) Mbombela Campus.
DARDLEA said efforts to empower young agricultural professionals are a step in the right direction towards achieving a more sustainable and equitable agricultural sector in Mpumalanga.
“ There is a growing demand for the sector to develop tailor-made programmes that not only prepare graduates for employment but also equip them for entrepreneurial development.
“ The collaboration in delivering the Agribusiness Management Programme underscored the ongoing commitment by the partners to empower young professionals, strengthen agricultural education, and promote sustainable economic development through knowledge, innovation and entrepreneurship,” said DARDLEA.
Additionally, the DARDLEA through its Structured Agricultural Training Chief Directorate in partnership with Tshwane Business School and TSB, are reportedly on a mission of advancing management and entrepreneurship skills to shape the future of agribusiness and drive innovation within the agriculture sector.
