Pre-Apprentiship On The Job Training

Henk Snyman - TASA Gauteng (CEO)

With the support of the NATIONAL TOOLING INITIATIVE, 50 (Fifty) Toolmaking pre-apprentices have now completed their theoretical training.

TASA now needs your support to place these learners in real world companies to gain experience in the manufacturing sector. These pre-apprenticeship toolmakers were selected from more than 300 applicants.

This select group now needs to get 6 weeks of On The Job Training to experience how a real world company operates. They are to be exposed to the real world of production so that they can gain an understanding of how important good tools are to quality production.

During the OTJ training period they will be on a program (see attachment) that will expose them to Safety in the Workplace, Quality Management and Conformance, the Product Development Process, Manufacturing Planning, Maintenance, Product Design and what happens in a Tool room.

The questions you may ask are:
1. What is in it for my company?

ANSWER:
* I get to know the apprentice in the work environment and may want to employ the individual somewhere in the future.
* I am contributing to skills development in South Africa.

2. What is the Cost?
* There is no cost to the company as the individuals are on a scholarship.
