Tjeka Training Matters’ construction training programmes are equipping members of poor communities with the skills that they need to pursue vibrant careers in the construction industry. This while also playing our part in developing a robust talent pipeline that is essential for our industry now and in the future.
Many young and enterprising individuals from these areas have completed Tjeka Training Matters’ quality short courses, skills paths or learnerships, sponsored by leading client bodies. The most industrious have even successfully attained nationally recognised qualifications at the prestigious Tjeka Construction Leadership Academy. As holders of National Qualifications Framework (NQF) 4 Construction Supervision and NQF 5 Construction Management qualifications, they have valuable skills and knowledge that ensure that tasks are executed efficiently, safely and to the required standards.
More recently, young unemployed adults from a community in the Western Cape were also selected by a leading client body to complete our quality Construction Supervisory learnership.

Furthermore, a number of individuals are also completing our artisanal training programmes facilitated by Tjeka Training Matters. Motivated, determined and talented, these individuals are also making the best of this opportunity to develop their skills and play their part in growing our industry.
“One of the biggest challenges that we face as a country is high youth unemployment. The vast majority of these citizens are under-skilled and reside within poor areas. Our construction industry is in a position to uplift these communities as this is where it sources labour. However, a longer-term view should always be taken by ensuring that these individuals also possess the skills needed to make projects a success and to access future employment opportunities. This is underpinned by quality training,” Kobus Brummer, Head of the Tjeka Leadership Academy.
