The National Home Builders Registration Council (NHBRC) hosted training at Inkosi Langalibalele Municipality for three days from November 16 to 18.
The sessions were co-ordinated by the Youth Office of uThukela District Municipality and facilitated by the NHBRC. The purpose was to equip youth contractors interested in housing construction with skills and knowledge.
Upon completion of the short course, contractors receive certificates which will allow them to register with the Home Builders Council. On the third day, various stakeholders that included Economic Development & Environmental Affairs, the Small Enterprise Development Agency and National Youth Development Agency gave presentations on opportunities and funding available for the youth in the business sector.

Both youth offices are grateful for the progressive relationship they continue building, as this was the second training session for the youth of the district. The youth office will continue to focus on their goal, which is to contribute towards making lives of young people better. It is hoped that upon receiving their certificates, the youth will be hunting for opportunities within the building sector.
The youth office wishes them the best going forward.
