Engineering News reports that the Steel and Engineering Federation of Southern Africa (Seifsa) on 22 July officially relaunched its Seifsa Training Centre (STC) in Actonville, Benoni.
The STC has been an entrenched entity in the metals and engineering industry’s training sphere for the past 35 years. About a year and a half ago Seifsa began a considerable structural and repositioning of the centre to position it for the future and to bolster the quality of young artisans trained to fight the country’s challenges of unemployment, poverty and inequality. The STC is run in partnership with Thuthukisa, a specialist advisory, consulting, project management and skills programme delivery company. The STC has been transformed from an olden-style training centre focused mostly on apprenticeships into a Fourth Industrial Revolution- (4IR-) ready training centre. Speaking at the relaunch, Seifsa CEO Lucio Trentini said the STC, which has always been known as a specialist apprentice training and test centre, now, in partnership with Thuthukisa, was able to offer a unique one-stop integrated multiple-benefit offering in the fields of skills development and business solutions. The STC now offers multidisciplinary expertise in engineering, high-end artisan and technical development, human capital, strategy, project and programme management, consulting, accreditation, and entrepreneurship and small business incubation capabilities. The centre has the capacity to train 250 people at a time and offers apprenticeships in ten trades. The training centre is a Department of Higher Education and Training and national Artisan Moderation Body-registered Trade Test centre and has trade-tested more than 400 candidates a year, since 2014.
