7.2 Training<br />
It is essential that training of Councillors and staff will be undertaken to<br />
upgrade the capacity of the new unit. Prior to commencing a skills audit<br />
must be conducted to ascertain the training needs and design a training<br />
programme accordingly. It is envisaged that training in the following skills<br />
would be required:-<br />
Building Inspection<br />
Project Management<br />
End User Computing<br />
Project Administration and Record Keeping<br />
Housing Policy Frameworks and Procedures<br />
A mentorship programme would be necessary for a period of at least 12<br />
months to ensure a “hands on” transfer of skills. Such a mentor would need<br />
to be outsourced using experienced practitioners from the housing field. It is<br />
estimated that the required budget would be in the region of R250 000 per<br />
annum.
