AvenirHoldings, in collaboration with the Transport Education Training Authority, has launched a targeted candidacy programme to accelerate professional registration of women in the built environment, addressing the sector's 16% female representation among registered engineering professionals. Supported by a TETA discretionary grant, the programme offers structured mentorship aligned to statutory registration bodies, exposure to complex multidisciplinary infrastructure projects and tailored technical development for employed women professionals seeking registration with the Engineering Council of South Africa, SACPCMP and the South African Council for the Quantity Surveying Profession.
Seifsa welcomes Industrial Development Strategy but calls for clearer masterplan alignmentThe Steel and Engineering Industries Federation of Southern Africa has welcomed the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition's new Industrial Development Strategy but argues that more consultative engagement with the metals and engineering sector would have strengthened the document. The association highlights uncertainty about the relationship between the strategy and existing sector masterplans, particularly the Steel and Metal Fabrication Master Plan, and calls for practical sector-specific roadmaps with clear implementation milestones, focusing on affordable energy, logistics efficiency, infrastructure-led demand creation and policy certainty.
Engineers increasingly upskilled during live project delivery under resource constraintsSouth African engineering firms are developing capability through embedded learning on live projects, with junior engineers contributing earlier in their careers through design coordination, site engagement and real-time problem-solving under programme pressure. While this accelerates exposure, the shift introduces risks of uneven capability development when mentorship remains informal and dependent on individual capacity, potentially leading to increased rework and greater reliance on a limited pool of experienced engineers.
