Johannesburg - Eskom will spend R800m per year in running its own tertiary institution in the hope of reducing its skills shortage, SABC news reported on Friday.
Lack of skills at the utility has been partly blamed for the country's electricity crisis.
Eskom's Mpho Letlape told the broadcaster: "We just didn't want to miss any training that we ought to be doing, that we might not be doing, and assuming that it's happening in the business [sector]. "That is why we went out and started... the Eskom university." #shareArticle {width:100%; font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:10px;}.sa_cont { float:left; width:100%; margin-right:15px; border-bottom:1px solid #ccc; border-top:1px solid #ccc; margin-bottom:5px; padding:5px 0px 5px 0px;}.sa_contb { float:left; width:100%; margin-right:20px; }.sa_cont_img { float:left; padding-right:5px; padding-top:5px; padding-bottom:5px; margin-right:10px;}.sa_cont_img a{color:#000; text-decoration:none;}.sa_cont_img a:hover{color:#000; text-decoration:underline;}.sa_cont_imgp {padding-right:5px;}.sa_cont_imgr { float:left; padding-right:5px; padding-top:5px; padding-bottom:5px; margin-right:20px;}.sa_cont_imgr a{color:#cc0000; text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold;}.sa_cont_imgr a:hover{color:#cc0000; text-decoration:underline; font-weight:bold;}
