Tech-savvy learners reach milestone in Engen’s youth skills development programme
Saturday Star
|August 02, 2025
ENGEN proudly congratulates the 2025 cohort of the Engen Global Citizen Development Programme (EGCDP) for successfully completing the first phase of their transformative 12-month ICT journey.
The milestone was celebrated during a Learners’ Project Presentation Day at the Blue Roof Life Space in Wentworth, Durban in late July. The event gave learners a platform to present the technical projects they developed during the classroom component of their training, showcasing their growing capabilities in Systems Development and Technical Support.
Learners were recognised for their hard work, discipline, and dedication. With the theory portion of the programme now behind them, the learners will transition into the second phase: onsite workplace learnerships, where they will gain hands-on experience and workplace exposure across various host companies.
Launched in April 2023, and now active in both South Durban and Steelpoort in Limpopo, the Engen Global Citizen Development Programme offers high-impact ICT training aimed at improving youth employability and promoting socioeconomic upliftment.
