Installation, Repair and Maintenance Initiative. In addition to the broader focus on community education, Social Partners have agreed that there is a need to find ways to build partnerships between public post schooling institutions and workplaces. These should ensure that graduates of these programmes are absorbed into the economy. One such programme is the Installation, Repair and Maintenance Initiative. This initiative seeks to address the challenges young people face when attempting to make a successful transition to the labour market. It also seeks to address the challenges with respect to vocational education and skills development. Programme Description National Business Initiative (NBI) and Xxxxxxxx have jointly initiated and piloted a three-year programme to implement a model of TVET pathways into Installation, Repair and Maintenance (IRM) occupations across a range of sectors in the South African economy. IRM workers are entry level technical roles across a range of context and may involve installation, repair and maintenance of machinery, equipment and buildings for IT, security, plant operations, automotive, hospitality, retail, renewable energy, telecommunications, logistics and household services. The IRM initiative has two broad objectives: • Create scalable and sustainable access to recognized, mid-level technical occupations in large companies and SMMEs, and offer a pathway to artisan trades and self-employment • Disrupt current pathways and create an enabling environment for TVET Colleges to provide the necessary pipeline to meet IRM demand To achieve this, the initiative will leverage off existing supply-side funding and demand-side incentives in the youth employment ecosystem and intervene in the supply-demand interface to enable more effective and efficient pathways for youth. The initiative will target young people that have completed their engineering qualification in a college or have a Grade 12 certificate with technical subjects, but have little or no practical skills and are unable to access workplace learning opportunities as well as young people who have not completed Grade 12 are at risk but demonstrate the potential to embark on technical occupations if provide with the right support and opportunities.
