Welkom notes on training & skills development
The MQA is the main SETA, with AgriSETA for farms and LGSETA for the municipality. Reskilling and portable skills programmes for mine workers, artisan learnerships and supervisor development are common. Social and Labour Plan commitments drive some of this training, so providers may need to report attendance and outcomes. Smaller contractors often use an outside SDF for the WSP and ATR.
Facilitation work in Welkom
Welkom was built as the centre of the Free State goldfields, and deep-level gold mining around Virginia, Odendaalsrus and Allanridge still drives much of the training here. Safety induction, underground supervisor courses, reskilling for workers affected by closures and community development sessions are the most common requests. Agriculture on the surrounding farms and the municipality add their own planning and training work. Venues are mainly guest houses, conference rooms in town and in Riebeeckstad, and a few lodges near the pans and dams outside town. Community programmes in Thabong run mostly in Sesotho. Most outside facilitators drive from Bloemfontein, about two hours, or from Johannesburg on the N1.
The requests we see from Welkom usually come from:
- Mines, plants, factories and farms: mines, plants and farms reporting safety and technical training to the MQA, merSETA or AgriSETA
- Training and skills development providers: training providers that help client companies plan and evidence their training spend
- Small and family businesses: a growing firm that has just passed the R500,000 payroll mark and needs its first WSP
