South Africa Reports Shortage of Concrete Technologists

A shortage of qualified concrete technologists is a major contributor to the shortage of materials engineers in South Africa and is crippling the country's economic growth, according to Cement & Concrete Institute (C&CI) MD Bryan Perrie. This year, the institute launched an improved Advanced Concrete Technology (ACT) course, which is being run under the auspices of the Institute of Concrete Technology in London.
