Savanna Skills hub a milestone for Midvaal development
MIDVAAL – The much-anticipated Skills Development Centre in Savanna City is set to be launched this month. This revelation was made by Midvaal Mayor Peter Teixeira.
The centre will play a vital role in upskilling and reskilling young people and the existing workforce. The development is a product of a partnership between Heineken and Midvaal Local Municipality.
Speaking recently, Teixeira stated that the construction phase including container installation, fencing and utility connections had been completed. He added that the establishment of the centre had reached final stages.
'An operational partner is on board, and the centre is set to officially launch in July. The centre will support small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs) with access to information, development tools and artisan training in alignment with the needs expressed through the Integrated Development Plan.'
Teixeira said the project had been a long time coming and marked a true milestone for the municipality.
'It took persistent effort, extensive planning, and countless negotiations to finally bring this vision to life. We are committed to seeing our people grow and thrive and this centre will be at the heart of that transformation.'
During an announcement about the project, Teixeira highlighted that building a thriving community requires the collective participation of various stakeholders.
'It is imperative that we join forces with private businesses and civil society to make a tangible and lasting impact. By fostering collaboration between industry players, entrepreneurs, and small to medium enterprises, the Skills Development Centre in Savanna City aspires to create employment opportunities and contribute to the overall advancement of the region.'
Recently, the municipality in partnership with Heineken Beverages and Ranyaka Community Transformation, hosted the Savanna City Skills Development Centre official open day.
MMC for Development and Planning Thembi Maduna, highlighted the vision behind the centre and its role in unlocking opportunities for local talent during her keynote address.
