At the recent Devac Infrastructure Summit, hosted by DEVAC INVEST AFRICA, Lesedi’s Senior Manager: Project Development, Hennie du Plessis, took part in a thought-provoking panel discussion focused on workforce readiness in a rapidly evolving economy. Hennie shared how Lesedi is actively contributing to the development of a Future-Ready Workforce, one that is equipped with the right skills to meet the demands of a growing and increasingly technical economy.
He highlighted the urgent need to address the skills gap in the engineering and energy sectors and how Lesedi is responding through targeted initiatives, including skills development programmes, mentorship opportunities, and industry exposure for young professionals.
His insights emphasised that building sustainable infrastructure goes hand in hand with empowering people and that investment in human capital is just as critical as investment in technology.
Through conversations like these, Lesedi continues to play an important role in shaping the future of our industry and the people who drive it.
