What to know locally in Randfontein
The MQA is the key SETA for mines and their contractors, and mine training centres run much of the compulsory safety and competency training. Outside providers are brought in for supervisor and first line manager programmes, communication skills and learnerships for unemployed youth from nearby townships. SDFs help contractors keep their training records and WSPs in order, which matters when tendering for mine work.
Randfontein: the employers, the venues and the calendar
Gold mining is the backbone of the West Rand, and Randfontein sits in its middle, part of the Rand West City municipality with Westonaria. Mines and their contractors need induction, safety refreshers, supervisor programmes and learnerships for artisans and operators, often for shift workers who can only attend before or after a shift. The municipality, schools and clinics book planning and training days, and community groups in Mohlakeng and Toekomsrus run youth and enterprise workshops. Venues are mostly training rooms at the mines, community halls, church halls and a few guest houses, so many facilitators come from Johannesburg or Krugersdorp. December shutdowns change the calendar for mine based training, and summer storms can make outdoor sessions difficult.
