PRASA to expose learners to careers in the rail industry

The Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA) will today host a career day aimed at exposing about 70 learners from Mamelodi, Soshanguve, Soweto, Tembisa, and Kempton Park to diverse career paths within the agency and the broader rail industry.

“During the day, the group of learners will have the unique opportunity to get first-hand experience of the manufacturing process of the new world-class modern blue and white trains, known as Isitime Sabantu, at the state-of-the-art Gibela Manufacturing plant, and ignite their curiosity in the production of trains,” PRASA said of Monday’s career day.

The learners will also hear from industry professionals from Gibela, the Gautrain and the Transport Education Training Authority, who will share their personal career experiences and opportunities in the rail sector.

In addition, PRASA teams from Human Capital, PRASA TECH, and PRASA CRES (Corporate Real Estate Solutions) will be present to provide further career guidance.

The PRASA Career Day marks the launch of PRASA’s commitment to community development initiatives, aimed at reaching the communities it serves, and the start of many more similar initiatives nationally.

The event is a collaborative effort with partners such as the Gibela Rail Transport Consortium, Gautrain, Transport Education Training Authority (TETA) and the City of Joburg.

It comes at a time when PRASA is making significant strides in restoring the passenger rail network and services, offering a platform for aspiring youth to dream big and consider a future career in rail. – SAnews.gov.za
