Any project is a collaborative effort between all individuals and organisations involved. All stakeholders need to operate in synergy and work together to maintain effective, continual communication between the parties — and to maintain stakeholder support throughout the project so it meets its objectives.
Community participation management, facilitation, and the communication and liaison process between all parties.
Building and maintaining the network of community leaders, representative structures and service providers needed for smooth implementation.
Skills development through training and learnership programmes, helping beneficiaries access work and build sustainable careers.
We facilitate skills development within projects through training and learnership programmes, helping achieve the objectives of the Extended Public Works Programme (EPWP) and National Youth Service (NYS) by implementing a companion programme that assists community beneficiaries to gain access to work in their chosen industry, develop sensible career plans, and become lifelong learners.
This exposure helps participants build relationships with industry players, grow their network, and explore the resources and infrastructure for work access and career development — aligning their interests, values and talents with their career objectives.
A dynamic social facilitation team, an asset-based skills development programme, and the following services and products:
Consultation and liaison with community leaders, community representative structures and the broader community to leverage trust and relationships. Communication and liaison with service providers and all relevant stakeholders, maintaining the essential network for smooth and successful implementation. We conduct impact assessment studies and all other related research required.
Facilitating recruitment of community beneficiaries and assisting with applications, administration, and handling queries. Co-ordinating briefing sessions and orientation workshops to prepare beneficiaries for project participation, identifying and securing venues, and assisting with placement of participants with contractors involved in related trades.
Recording and managing learner information and progress throughout the project. We consistently facilitate learner social support and communication during formal training, on site, and through to post-learnership job placements and business opportunities, using our model processes — compiling comprehensive monthly progress reports.
A lifelong learner development programme that adopts an asset-based approach to personal growth, enabling individual participants to make a conscious choice, identify and explore their abilities and capabilities, build capacity and realise potential through community service.
