Training and Trade Testing Services for Artisanal Trades

The Municipal Infrastructure Support Agent (MISA) is inviting proposals for the appointment of a regional training service provider to deliver comprehensive training and trade testing services over a period of 36 months. This program will focus on apprenticeship and recognition of prior learning (RPL) for various artisanal trades, specifically designed to improve the operation and maintenance of municipal infrastructure in the KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga, and Free State provinces. The successful provider will be responsible for developing and implementing training modules that meet industry standards and cater to the needs of local municipalities.

Key requirements include the ability to conduct trade testing and certification, ensuring that participants are adequately prepared for real-world applications in municipal settings. The program aims to bridge the skills gap in the workforce, thereby enhancing the operational efficiency of municipal services. By investing in the training of artisans, the initiative will contribute to sustainable infrastructure development and maintenance, ultimately benefiting local communities and economies. Interested parties should demonstrate their experience in vocational training, particularly in the context of municipal infrastructure, and provide evidence of successful past projects in similar domains.
