It has been introduced in a trial amongst Technical, Vocational, Education and Training (TVET) colleges and aims to generate a curriculum relevant to the global shift to non-internal combustion drive trains.
The High Gear program also assists students who want to work in the industry with career advice and guidance in giving them the best chance of being employed.
“This platform will continue to evolve as industry trends and needs change so that students can stay up to date with employer requirements. Students can also complement their studies after graduation while accessing work opportunities and networking with potential employers via Yakh’iFuture. These are capabilities that will close the loop when it comes to industry demand and skills supply,” said High Gear.
“It is important that we prioritise programmes and initiatives that enable skills development for young people and students alike to make them more employable, and the Yakhi’Future platform has been designed to do just that,” said Aruna Singh, the chief director of programmes and qualifications at the Department of Higher Education and Training.
