Secunda notes on training & skills development
CHIETA and merSETA cover much of the work here, with the MQA for the gold operations around Evander. Operator and artisan apprenticeships, process safety courses and assessor training for in-house trainers are common requests. Small contractors who want to tender for plant work often need an SDF to get their WSP, ATR and B-BBEE skills evidence in order before the next round.
Secunda: the employers, the venues and the calendar
One large petrochemical complex shapes Secunda, and with it a steady demand for process safety training, contractor induction, shutdown planning sessions and apprenticeships for operators and artisans. Engineering and construction contractors who work on the plant book their own toolbox talks, team sessions and supervisor courses. Evander and Kinross add gold mining history and a few working operations, while Embalenhle brings youth programmes and community meetings run by NPOs and the municipality. Venues are mostly in town and in Trichardt, with lodges near the Grootvlei and Bethal roads for groups who want to get away. During a major maintenance shutdown, accommodation fills with contract workers, so check availability before booking any residential programme.
The requests we see from Secunda usually come from:
- Mines, plants, factories and farms: artisans and supervisors assessing apprentices and learnership candidates on site
- Companies and head offices: in-house academy staff trained to assess and moderate the company's accredited programmes
- Training and skills development providers: training providers building enough assessors and moderators for their scope
