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.
