Fedusa plans to train 6 000 artisans

The Federation of Unions of South Africa has responded to calls by the minister of higher education and training, Blade Nzimande, to produce more qualified artisans and says that it will join forces with the Unemployment Insurance Fund to train about 6 000 artisans in the next five years, according to a Business Day report.
