PRESENTATOR: SONIA HORNSBY

The ESSA system was introduced to the public back in 2007,

at the Department of Labour’s 125 Labour Centres across the

country.

At first, individuals had to stand in queues to get registered

but recently the system was upgraded and ESSA Online was

implemented.

The ESSA Online was first introduced to the Employers with

the Jobs Fair on the 5th July 2012, in Richards bay.

More and more employers, are making use of the ESSA

System.
