Training facility to mitigate skills deficit challenge in artisan industry
Training facility to mitigate skills deficit challenge in artisan industry
From Creamer Media in Johannesburg, this is the Real Economy Report.
Sashnee Moodley:
Industrial rope access specialists Skyriders Access Specialists aims to bridge the rope access skills deficit in the artisan industry through offering training at its Midrand-based facility, in South Africa. Simone Liedtke tells us more.
Simone Liedtke:
The general lack of skills in the artisan industry can be traced back to poor secondary education standards, as well as a lack of university and artisan development opportunities. Skyriders, however, aims to mitigate this challenge by keeping more than 330 rope access technicians trained, competent and skilled in the various artisan disciplines at its training facility, which was established in 2010.
Skyriders Access Specialists’ Marketing Manager, Mike Zinn:
Simone Liedtke:
Skyriders’ training aims to “give learners the full benefit of applying height safety practices” and can also provide training at a cleint’s premises, as a lot of – but not all – clients are located in foreign countries on the African continent.
Skyriders Access Specialists’ Marketing Manager, Mike Zinn:
Simone Liedtke:
Skyriders also plans to offer accredited confined space training in the near future.
