HSE Professional Hlayiseka Ngobeni believes Professional registration in the construction industry, while challenging and expensive, is crucial for career advancement. Despite limited support, the benefits outweigh the difficulties. He says aspiring professionals should remain focused, patient, and seek guidance to navigate the process successfully.
