PROJECT: MINE COMMUNITY SUPPORT

The Mine Community Support Programme aims to provide skills development opportunities for unemployed persons from mining and labour-sending communities. The programme supports training interventions that promote employment, self-employment, enterprise development, and sustainable livelihoods aligned to local economic opportunities. Funding of up to R16,000 per learner is available for approved skills programmes. This allocation includes a monthly learner stipend of R1,500 for the approved training period. Training interventions must align with MQA priority occupations and demonstrate clear post-training opportunities such as employment, entrepreneurship, co-operative development, or other income-generating activities. Applications are assessed based on programme relevance, sustainability, implementation capacity, community impact and value for money.
