Workforce Solutions, Gqeberha

What is so important is that Learners win back the dignity lost, having been unemployed, sometimes for as long as 4 years, after having left school. The next step is to remain motivated and become an outstanding employee, so that they could continue to follow the intensive Life Skills Program offered as a component of all training at the WTA. This Program supports the Learner who have already drawn up a short-to-medium and eventually long-term plan for his or her life. Many brothers and sisters pass through here. As soon as one is employed, the family sends another member to enrol.

The slogan of the business is Vuka U Zenzele – Stand Up and Do Something. That is exactly what we as a business do, and what we teach our Learners to do. Together we fight poverty and crime. The business further offers Learners financial skills and counselling services where needed.
Workforce Solutions teaches it’s students to re-structure their life, adjust the goal-posts and continue to follow their dream. It works. Many students at University and other Colleges who could not continue their studies end up following these short courses, gets a job and does the same. Partner Kathy Barker manages the Computer Training Centre and the Health Care Training Division with its Caregivers Placement Agency (CPA). Trained Care-workers do home-based care while they pursue their dream of becoming a Registered Nurse. This service has become popular among the elderly who opt to stay on in their homes in stead of moving on to a retirement home.
