Skills Development
INVESTING IN TOMORROW: OUR SKILL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Our skill development program is a cornerstone of our mission to empower and inspire. By investing in our workforce and supporting local economies, Arcrite Engineering is helping to build a sustainable future for the engineering sector. Here’s how we’re making a difference:
1. Apprenticeship Programmes: Shaping Future Artisans
We recognize the critical need for skilled labour in the steel industry. To address this, we offer comprehensive apprenticeship programs for welders and boilermakers, guiding them to become Red Seal artisans. Partnering with the Manufacturing, Engineering and Related Services SETA (merSETA), our apprentices receive hands-on training and mentorship that equips them with the skills and certification required for excellence in their trades.
2. Supporting Local Skills Development: Partnering with Government
Arcrite Engineering is proud to support the Western Cape Provincial Government’s Department of Economic Development and Tourism. By making our facilities available and participating in the Skills Development and Innovation programme, we help train and develop learners, providing them with valuable skills and experience. This collaboration strengthens the local workforce and contributes to the economic development of our region.
3. Mechanical Engineering Internship Programme: Cultivating Future Leaders
Our commitment to nurturing engineering talent is exemplified through our mechanical engineering internship program. We offer students from the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) an opportunity to complete their one-year in-service training with us. To date, eight students have successfully completed their training at Arcrite, many of whom have gone on to qualify as engineers. Exceptional graduates may receive a further year of work experience with us, and three have been offered permanent management positions within our company. This program is a testament to our dedication to developing the future leaders of our industry.
BUILDING A LEGACY THROUGH EMPOWERMENT AND INNOVATION
Arcrite Engineering’s skill development initiatives are more than just programs—they are a reflection of our values and vision for the future. By investing in the growth and development of aspiring engineers and artisans, we are addressing the current shortage of skilled labour and ensuring the continued success and advancement of the steel industry.
Our dedication to community and workforce development aligns with our core principles of innovation, quality, and excellence. As we build on our rich history, Arcrite Engineering remains focused on shaping a brighter future, driven by a commitment to exemplary service and community support.
