The South African Nuclear Energy Corporation (Necsa) and the Energy and Water Sector Education and Training Authority (EWSETA) jointly announced on Monday that they had signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU). This MoU created a strategic partnership to jointly create high-impact education, training and skills development programmes, which would reinforce the country’s capability to develop scarce but critical and future-proof skills required by both the nuclear and water sectors. (The MoU was actually signed on Thursday, July 24.)  “Collaborating with institutions such as EWSETA through our Necsa Learning Academy is essential to advancing South Africa’s national and socioeconomic development agenda,” highlighted Necsa Group CEO Loyiso Tyabashe. “This MoU enables us to better define and meet the evolving needs of the nuclear sector, ensuring our industry has the capacity to support strategic infrastructure and energy goals.”
