Life Skills

 

Our training is for people working in the construction and engineering industries. It ranges from training on large infrastructure development projects to small maintenance projects at local municipalities, including labour-intensive construction training courses.

 

We train individuals and teams from various government departments, district and local municipalities, national corporations, local businesses and communities. Our trainees range from engineers to bus drivers, water and wastewater process controllers to emerging contractors, construction workers and community leaders.

 

Our experienced team designs and delivers SAVE’s training programmes. The training we provide meets rigorous standards and exceeds industry norms. Our training programmes and training practitioners, where applicable, are accredited and registered with the relevant accreditation authorities.

 

We ensure that our courses are affordable because we believe in promoting equal access to educational opportunities in South Africa. And they are conducted in the communities, or at the construction sites, where people need them. Our training also develops life skills that help empower people; in line with our core values.

Progressive Project Communication

Putting development plans into action takes many different people. Land development of all kinds affects and involves the greater community directly and indirectly. Effective communication is thus imperative for the successful completion of development projects. The type of professional communication provided by SAVE’s skilled facilitators.

 

Working with Communities, SAVE helps organisations and communities work together to build a better South Africa. We do this by facilitating constructive engagement between teams and communities. 

Our goal is to reach the best outcomes for all stakeholders in construction projects. We focus on those affected by construction and related activities on construction projects, infrastructure development and built environment projects.

 

Community-Based Participatory Planning requires our skills, expertise and experience to mobilise and empower affected project beneficiary communities. This facilitates their active participation in the planning and implementation components of development projects.

The aim is to create a sense of project ownership and responsibility within the affected communities. This will result in the best project outcomes for all stakeholders in the present and future.
