SAICE has begun regular engagements with the City of Cape Town on matters relating to civil engineering and service delivery in the City. Our objective is to listen to the City and the respective challenges they experience and identify opportunities for SAICE to support the City.
We have held two engagements with the City to date and both have been quite insightful and informative. Matters addressed to date include:
* Efforts by the City to professionalise the engineering services it provides.
* Identification of areas of training that SAICE could potentially support the City with.
* Becoming a liaison between the universities and the City on matters relating to course curricula and research.
* The City’s commitment to training graduates.
* Relating the City’s experience of the SAICE GCC to the SAICE team busy updating the GCC.
* Encouraging more City officials to attend SAICE events to improve networking opportunities
If you have specific feedback you wish to provide to the City through this forum please let us know so we can raise it at our next meeting with the City in late August.
