Bergzicht Training

Bergzicht Training Centre is a non-governmental organisation situated in the heart of Stellenbosch, South Africa. Our story began in 1992 as a response to the pressing need of training the unskilled and unemployed people of the Western Cape. At the time a survey in the area showed that there was a lack of trained workers in the fields of domestic work, frailcare, educare and catercare, which naturally became our fields of focus. With a holistic framework in mind we also started an in-house placement bureau. This meant that unlike other training projects we would continue supporting our students after they had fulfilled their courses through helping them find permanent employment or create their own job opportunity. Together the demand for their newly founded skills and the placement bureau were going to enhance their chances of finding a job and bettering their lives. Our mission is to inspire and empower disadvantaged people with little or no formal education by equipping them with the necessary skills that they need to uplift themselves from impoverished circumstances. Our aim is to assit them in creating a stable foundation that will enable them to reach their full potential an experience lives of stability.
