Training & skills development in Newcastle: local notes
Steel, textile and chemical employers here pay into SETAs such as merSETA, the FP&M SETA and CHIETA, so skills development facilitators in town often know these well. Learnerships for unemployed youth from Madadeni and Osizweni are popular with larger firms. The TVET college and schools book facilitator and assessor courses for lecturers, and small firms need help submitting the WSP and ATR by 30 April.
Facilitators and providers in Newcastle
Northern KwaZulu-Natal's industrial town, Newcastle has a large steel works, textile and clothing factories, chemical plants and a coal and power station belt around it, all of which book shop floor training, supervisor programmes and safety courses. The Newcastle municipality and the Amajuba district offices bring public sector strategy sessions and imbizos, and the TVET college and schools in Madadeni and Osizweni need staff development and assessor training. Most sessions are held in town, at the factory or in guest houses and lodges near the Ncandu River and the Drakensberg foothills. Facilitators often drive from Durban, Pietermaritzburg or Gauteng, so ask about travel days. Winters here are cold and dry with frosty mornings, and summers bring thunderstorms.
The requests we see from Newcastle usually come from:
- Mines, plants, factories and farms: operator, artisan support and safety learnerships on mines, plants and farms
- Schools, colleges and universities: colleges hosting learners, and schools employing young people as admin learners
- NPOs, churches and community groups: NPOs placing unemployed youth in learnerships with employer partners
