Training & skills development in Gqeberha: local notes
merSETA is the SETA that matters most here, given the car and component plants, and many skills development facilitators specialise in it. Artisan apprenticeships, learnerships and team leader programmes are common. The metro books leadership training through LGSETA, while the university and TVET colleges send staff on facilitator and assessor courses. Ask providers about QCTO registration for any course you fund.
Gqeberha: the employers, the venues and the calendar
Car manufacturing and the component suppliers around it drive much of the training in Gqeberha. Plants in Struandale and Kariega, tyre and parts makers and the logistics firms at the port and Coega run induction, quality, safety and team leader programmes, and they often book facilitators who know lean methods and shop floor groups. The Nelson Mandela Bay metro, the university in Summerstrand and the TVET colleges add public sector planning, staff development and learnerships. Business parks in Newton Park and Walmer host most corporate sessions, and the beachfront hotels in Summerstrand take conferences. Delegates speak isiXhosa, Afrikaans and English. The wind is a real factor for outdoor team building, so ask for a sheltered or indoor fallback.
