Skills Development
One of our priorities is to assist our members to get a job. Helping them to develop new skills for the job market, connect them with businesses and assist them with job applications if necessary.
Skills development is not just about learning - it is about preparing for the future, achieving personal goals and contributing meaningfully to society. Skills development is essential because it empowers individuals to succeed in an ever-changing world.
When people build new skills, they can gain confidence in their abilities. This can lead to greater independence, better decision making and a stronger sense of control over their personal and professional lives.
At the Centre of Hope we focus on vocational, employment readiness and life skills training to empower our visitors to become financially self-reliant and break the cycle of poverty.
employment-seeking candidates
One of our initiatives, to get our members in the job market, is to compile a list of employment-seeking candidates. We want to connect businesses and employers with our members. Our hope is that the community of Sasolburg will come together to help combat poverty.
How will it work? To be on the list the following will apply:
Must be a member of The Centre of Hope in Sasolburg.
Each candidate will be assisted by a volunteer to compile a thorough CV.
An original ID or Passport must be submitted where we will make a certified copy to keep.
A permission form must be signed for police clearance check.
A Work Ethics course must be attended, presented once a month by our volunteers.
Thereafter, their names will be available to the public.
Instead of just picking up a random casual on the street, this process will ensure a bit more safety and accountability. We can provide a list of job seekers in different industries.
This list will be available from January 2026
*Disclaimer: Every candidate is still an individual who is responsible for his/her own actions and may not display our beliefs or ethics even after training. At The Centre of Hope in Sasolburg, we only connect businesses and individuals with job seekers.
