TRAINING THE YOUTH

Rustenburg/ Mooinooi – The Grace Help Centre (GHC) in Mooinooi is rolling out a series of empowerment training and educational programmes to run throughout the year for unemployed youth with the help of the Vodacom Foundation.

Grace Help Centre is a registered NPO which accommodates victims of crime such as gender-based violence and human-trafficking. The organisation also offers a home to abandoned children from as little as new-borns. The NPO has been assigned a volunteer who also facilitates the GHC training programmes, Nandi Ndindwa.

Speaking to Platinum Weekly newspaper, Ndidwa said more skills training programmes are planned for the duration of the year starting this month. “The dates for the rest of the training sessions namely, communication and time management skills, customer care training, applying Batho Pele principles training, problem solving and decision making training, report writing skills, call centre course training, leadership and team-building skills, introduction to basic computer training and interview techniques, will each be communicated as we go along from April right up until December 2018,” Ndindwa said.

 The GHC has also teamed up with another NPO, Nokuthula Youth Transformation, to offer a SAQA unit standard aligned training. Among the list of training already offered is firefighting which was given on 16 March. The second training on supervisory skills was held on Tuesday, 27 March.

“We are excited to announce that the first training on occupational health and safety held at our venue on 16 February, was an enormous success,” Ndidwa said.
