🎨 FROM TRAINING TO TRANSFORMATION
At Eastcape Training Centre (ETC), we believe that skills development is most meaningful when it creates lasting opportunities. Through our valued partnership with the National Empowerment Fund (NEF), 50 unemployed beneficiaries from Ward 25 in Nelson Mandela Bay have been empowered with practical painting skills through a six-month training programme designed to prepare them for employment, entrepreneurship, and sustainable economic participation. From classroom learning and safety training to hands on workplace experience, learners have embraced the opportunity to develop skills that are in demand within the construction and built environment sectors. Some participants have already progressed into employment opportunities, while others are pursuing self-employment pathways.
As ETC celebrates 50 years of advancing skills development, we are proud to be changing lives through quality training and meaningful industry-relevant learning opportunities. A sincere thank you to our funding partner, the National Empowerment Fund (NEF), for investing in skills development and youth empowerment in our communities. Together, we are creating opportunities, restoring hope, and building a skilled workforce for the future.
