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