RECTOR‘S

PREFACE

01

A Salesian parable for our times

Don Bosco collapsed on the first Sunday in July 1846. Here, he takes up the

story himself (abridged from his Memoirs of the Oratory, Chapters 43-44).

“My many commitments in the prisons, the Cottolengo Hospital, the Refuge,

the Oratory and the schools meant I had to work at night. On account of that, my

frail health deteriorated to such a degree that doctors advised me to stop all my

activities. I was exhausted and took to bed with bronchitis, coughing and violent

inflammation. A week later, I was at death’s door. I was sorry to abandon my

youngsters.

Tearful youngsters, without prompting, prayed for me day and night before

the image of Our Lady of Consolation, imploring her to preserve their poor Don

Bosco. And God heard their prayers!

I went home to Murialdo to spend some months of convalescence with my

family. I would have stayed longer, but my beloved sons wrote, urging me to

come back soon.

But what means did I have to keep my work going, work that was daily

becoming more demanding and expensive? How was I to support myself and the

persons indispensable to me?

At that time, two rooms fell vacant in the Pinardi house and these were rented

as a dwelling for me and my mother. We arrived on the evening of 3 November

1846. How were we to live? What were we to eat?

How could we pay the rent and supply the needs of the many children who constantly asked for bread, shoes, clothes, or

shirts, which they needed to go to work? My mother, always in good humour, one evening laughingly sang to me:

‘What a woe, with neither fame

nor a penny to our name!’

Back at the Oratory, however, I continued to work as before, and for 27 years I had no further need of either doctors or

medicine. This leads me to believe that work does no damage to bodily health!”

Fr Jeffrey Johnson

CHAIRPERSON’S

REPORT

02

In his preface to this report, the outgoing Rector of Salesian Institute,

Father Jeffrey, relates how in 1846 St John (Don) Bosco became very sick

and was close to death – and then recovered to serve the youth, who had

prayed for him, for another 27 years without ‘further need of either doctors

or medicine.’

The Salesian Institute Youth Projects (SIYP) has, this past year, faced a similar

challenge to its work with at-risk youth. We have, in some senses, become sick

and, as a result, had to walk through fire. But, like Don Bosco, SIYP has survived

and come through with renewed vigour and optimism.

Our dedication to our mission to provide opportunity and hope to our youth

has not wavered. We have had to face considerable leadership and funding

challenges head on. This has required clear-eyed courage and steadfast

commitment to doing what is right for the future of the youth we serve.

Wise words from Don Bosco should comfort us here. He said: “Willingly suffer

a bit for God who suffered so much for you” and he counselled us: “Do not try

to excuse your faults; try to correct them”. That we have done this year, always

keeping in our sights the welfare of the youth at risk we work with. So hard

decisions have had to be made.

We have regrettably had to close the Youth Employment Skills (YES)

programme and the Outreach programme. We have retained our Learn to

Live School of Skills, Waves of Change and our Porsche PAVE PTRC-ZA training

programme, whose ongoing success you will read of in these pages.

We have made these changes in order for SIYP to be sustainable and to focus on those programmes with maximum

long-term impact. We have had to tell funders about these changes in the face of the increasing difficulty all NGOs face

in attracting funding in our ailing economy and a world less focused on South Africa. Our funders have been incredibly

supportive and understanding of these realities and have welcomed our honesty.

Over and above these necessary changes, I would like to celebrate the green shoots of further transformation planned

for the year ahead. Our Learn to Live School of Skills will be getting an education makeover as we finalise a comprehensive

review of the best practice methodologies that will suit our youth and teachers best. This is a very exciting development and

we are particularly grateful to Professor Tom Ryan of the Graduate School of Business for his input in this regard.

Elsewhere our Porsche PAVE PTRC-ZA programme goes from strength to strength. Our second cohort of students starts

this year. The first 23 graduates – five women and 18 men – graduated from the programme, which began in March 2017,

on July 1 2019 and will find a career in the Volkswagen Group here in South Africa. This will change the lives of these young

people, their families and their communities. And as our CEO, Father Patrick Naughton, said on the day: “These students

have shown what can be achieved when young people are given their chance.”

This year, we have been led by our Provincial, Fr Joy Sebastian, who has amplified the role and integration of the

Salesian order across all of the NGOs in the province. In that regard, our board has been reconstituted to be smaller, which

makes it more agile in its decision-making. In addition, through a greater representation of the Salesian order, we welcome

a greater emphasis on charism.

We would like to thank the departing board members: Fr Jeffrey Johnson (outgoing Rector), Hugh Fynn, Bernard Ashlin,

Heribert Trunk, Rick Earley, Dermot Mullins and Fr Kizito Gugah. We would also like to welcome new board members,

Fr Eoin Farrelly and Fr Joseph Nguyen as Rector.

The board and I remain committed to giving each and every young person who comes through our doors their very best

opportunity as they face the challenges of a future that seems to change so quickly. And with our leaner, fitter board and

programmes, that is exactly what we intend to do. In doing so, we will be, in Don Bosco’s words, serving the Lord joyfully.

“Servite Domino in laetitia!” (serve the Lord joyfully!)

John Doidge

Chairman, SIYP

LEARN TO LIVE

SCHOOL OF SKILLS

03

As a Special School of Skills, this institution addresses the educational

and psycho-social plight of youngsters who have a background of broken

schooling and who come from areas where socio-economic conditions

provide no way forward.

The emphasis at the school is firstly on providing a sense of home-from-home,

a therapeutic environment where the learners’ emotional and physical safety are

prioritised. This is achieved through the caring and supportive ethos embodied

by the teachers. It is the focus of the teaching staff to discover, affirm and develop

these talents. In doing so, our admiration for the strength and resilience of these

young souls constantly grows.

The second priority is to provide training in skills that will give these young

people a viable economic future. The four workshops, namely Hair Dressing,

Hospitality, Electricity and Woodwork, have highly qualified Instructors whose

resourcefulness, despite inadequate facilities, says much of their commitment to

the mission of Don Bosco.

Life skills forms an essential part of preparing the youngsters for the world of work. As part of this process, the

importance of remaining current with the realities and trends of the workplace is recognised. Weekend and holiday job

placements through the professional network of their instructors have helped further acclimatise these youngsters to the

world of work. The positive effect on their self-confidence is very pleasing to observe.

The learners are between 14 and 18 years of age and leave us after the four-year skills training programme. The school

is registered with the Department of Education, a further generous Donor, under whose jurisdiction it falls in terms of

education law, curriculum and assessment requirements. While small classes of 20 or less may be ideal, it is not always

possible due to the high demand and waiting list for admission to the school. However, places are set aside for youngsters

at extreme risk who require emergency placement by the Courts or by Social Workers. In this way, we ensure that our doors

are always open to those who may truly be designated as marginalised and vulnerable.

Key facts, figures and highlights

Thanks to our generous donors during 2018, more than 220 learners were provided with a hot breakfast, sandwiches at

teatime and a hot meal at lunchtime. For many, this was their only food for the day. A total of 54 044 such meals were

served, as follows:

Mandela Day

A meaningful celebration of Mandela Day translated the intention

of empowering young people by giving them the opportunity to

give to others. Clean-ups of the local beach and babysitting little

ones at a nearby crèche were part of this special day, as South

Africans honoured our venerable Madiba.

Prize Giving


The school’s prize-giving ceremony on the last school day of

the year was possibly the culmination of these highlights, as it

enabled us to recognise the special gifts and strengths of every

single learner. For each, it was the first time in their schooling

career that they had ever been publicly commended for anything.

As each learner took the stage individually for the applause

accompanying their respective certificate commendations and

photograph, we and the audience were genuinely moved.

YOUTH

EMPLOYMENT

SKILLS

(YES) PROGRAMME

04

The Youth Employment Skills (YES) programme provided skills training

and job placement assistance to unemployed youth between the ages of 18

and 26 years.

All students completed a compulsory, intensive three-week life skills course

as an entry requirement before undergoing a five- or twelve-week vocational

skills course in one of the following: Computer Literacy & Office Management;

PC Repair & Mobile Application Development; Bricklaying & Plastering; Food

Preparation or Sewing.

Life skills

During the reporting period, life skills training was provided to 236 students. Life

skills training was a compulsory entry requirement for the YES programme and

covered numerous topics relating to personal development, workplace readiness

and social issues. The programme enhanced youth resilience and improved

confidence, motivation, behaviour and self-esteem levels.

Topics covered included: trust building; self-esteem; positive thinking;

motivation & problem solving; time management; stress management;

communication; conflict resolution; constructive criticism; peer pressure;

curriculum vitae writing; interview skills; gender & domestic violence; HIV/AIDS;

substance abuse; body mapping; goal setting and drumming. SIYP reviewed the

need to provide additional psycho-social support to those students who may not

have sufficient support in their family or community settings.

Additional ad hoc courses

As part of the JP Morgan Fund that was acquired by CIE Thabiso Skills Institute, a three-month Wholesale and Retail SETAaccredited

Merchandising Course was offered. Titan Skills Institute facilitated the training. The YES Programme organised

the recruitment and selection of students, as well as seeking retail store workplace opportunities for graduates via the

Workplace-Based Learning (WBL) requirement of the course.

Graduation ceremonies were held after each course and every student who passed their course received a certificate for

life skills and vocational training.

In addition, and in collaboration with Mr. Price Foundation Jumpstart, we offered a Retail Programme through Catalyx

to develop skills that would assist youth in becoming employable in a variety of careers across the retail sector. These

programmes included training for entry-level positions in stores, sales, distribution centres and financial services, as well

as offering graduates the opportunity to learn professional retail skills for buying, planning, operations, management

development and store management.

Job placement services

The YES programme offered students assistance with job placement services once they had successfully completed their

vocational courses. The Job Placement Officer focused on building and maintaining partnerships with a range of diverse

employers in the greater Cape Town area to help our students find gainful employment. Our approach to sustainable

employment is outlined in the diagram below.

Youth could contact SIYP if they required employment advice or if their work contract was due to expire. Of the 204

graduates placed into employment over the reporting period, 13% of employers reported positive workplace behaviours.

Follow-up with the employers to collect feedback was not in effect due to the vacant Job Placement Officer post. Once this

position was filled in May 2018, SIYP successfully built and maintained approximately 48 strategic partnerships within various

sectors such as: construction, retail, hospitality, customer service, HR, clothing and textiles, as well as local government

institutions.

For the reporting period, the job placement rate averaged out at 60%. Of the 341 youth trained, 204 of them were placed

into jobs or learnerships. A further 23 participants were continuing their education. However, this is not a true reflection of

job placement as the placement rate will continue to increase into 2019. Employment can take anywhere up to 12 months

after completion of a course. These figures evolve daily and are continuously updated as students are employed.

Post-placement follow-up and support were provided up to nine months after graduation.

Success

Story

Yoneia Macquaza

Making her building dreams

come true

Yoneia is a 21-year-old woman. As

a child growing up in the Eastern

Cape, she was intrigued by building

things and playing with mortar. She

wanted to become a builder. There

was no doubt in her mind what she

wanted to do.

In 2018, Yoneia came across a

Facebook post by the Salesian

Institute Youth Projects (SIYP) and

discovered that they offered a

three-month Bricklaying & Plastering

course. This course formed part

of an offering of five programmes

offered by the Salesians through

their YES (Youth Employment Skills

Programme). She found out where

the Salesian Institute was in Cape

Town by using the information

provided on their website.

In May 2018 Yoneia came to

the Salesian Institute and chose

from the various courses on offer

– not surprisingly, she chose the

Bricklaying & Plastering course.

“I enjoyed it so much and the guys

in my group accepted me as part

of the team”, she said. Yoneia even

came to assist her course facilitator,

Mr. Alec, to set up and prepare for

the new intake last year.

She proudly told us how her

mother, who works in Khayelitsha,

saw that a local school was

extending their school buildings.

Yonea’s mother bravely approached

the foreman at the school and

handed him her daughter’s CV and

certificate of course completion.

“He offered me a job! My family is

so proud of me and I am enjoying

this job very much.” Yoneia said with

a big smile. “One day I will build my

own house...”

The SIYP assisted youth at risk by

providing them with much-needed

vocational skills training and job

placement assistance. Yoneia, who

originally did not have an idea of

how she could realise her dreams of

becoming a builder, has now taken

her first step towards doing so.

In the process, she has improved

both her financial independence

and her future. •

WAVES OF

CHANGE

05

The Waves of Change (WOC) programme assisted youth with minimum

education levels from at-risk backgrounds. Its stated objective was ‘to

empower unemployed youth between the ages of 18 and 28 years from

Cape Town and surrounding areas by preparing them to find work at sea’.

WOC partnered with two of the biggest companies in the sector, I&J and

STCSA-Southern Africa (Maritime Training), to train some 200 young men and

women each year, which then gave those young people the opportunity to work

at sea.

In addition to job-specific training in the Pre-Sea Course, participants attended

a unique life skills course to learn about workplace behaviour, self-esteem and

household skills. At the end of the course, participants not only had the hard

skills employers wanted but also the social skills needed to be successful and

sought-after mariners.

This process was a collaborative effort which connected us with partners who

provided the maritime training and skills across the following elements in the

programme:

1. I&J – Pre-Sea Safety and Familiarisation Course

2. STCSA – Pre-Sea Maritime Training

3. SA Maritime and Safety Authority (SAMSA) – Seaman’s Record Books

4. SA Coast Guard Training Institute – Marine Medical First Aid

5. Premier Fishing – Risk Reduction

6. North Link College – Pulse Training and Marine Fire Fighting

7. Dr. B. Kehoe – Medical Examination and Seafarer Medical Certificate.

Waves of Change, through strategic partnerships, prepared the youth for work

at sea by facilitating key requirements such as Medical Examinations, Safety

Familiarisation, Marine First Aid, Marine Fire Fighting and Fire Prevention,

Personal Survival Techniques (PST), Personal Safety and Social Responsibility,

as well as obtaining a very crucial item, their Seaman’s Record Books.


23

The Waves of Change Programme facilitated the following:

Medical examinations


Seafarers are required to undergo a medical examination to reduce risk to other crew members and for safe operation

of the ship, as well as to safeguard their personal health and safety. A total number of 201 clients obtained their medical

certificates.

Safety familiarisation training

The Shipping and Training College, South Africa (STC-SA), still generously provides pro bono Safety Familiarisation Training

(SFT) and can accommodate 20 students per course. This includes two days of training, lunch on the first day and practical

training in the pool. Our other training partners I&J, Sea Safety Training Group and the Academy of Medical Medicine have

assisted with those who are not accommodated by STC-SA. A total number of 140 clients went through the SFT.

Seaman’s record books

A seaman’s record book is regarded as a continuous record of a seaman’s service and so certifies a person as a seaman.

Waves of Change submitted 144 seaman’s books to SAMSA and 122 clients received their seaman’s book.

Employment

The finalisation of fishing quotas impacted on job placement. Vessels with permits for sharks and tuna were the only ones

in operation. From January 2018 to February 2019, 83 WOC clients (38%) were employed.

Life skills training remained a crucial component in graduates achieving economic self-sufficiency. Exposure levels

to workplace and interview skills were non-existent prior to training. Similarly, the behaviours required for acquiring,

retaining and developing in employment were absent. When acquiring entry-level employment, the interview and CV skills

of our WOC graduates were noted by employers, who were very impressed with the confidence, motivation, attitude and

behaviours of the youth being interviewed.

Story

Mandla Shopu

A future, an income and hope –

all thanks to Mr. Focus

Mandla Shopu is a determined

young man focused on making a

success of his life, despite the many

obstacles he has encountered.

When he completed high

school in 2008, he could not find

employment. Mandla then heard

from a friend that there might be a

job opportunity at the Waterfront in

construction.

Whilst at the Waterfront, he saw

some people sitting at the Viking

fishing facility and he thought to

himself: “Maybe I should try working

at sea”, and with that, he started

talking to the people, asking how he

could get into the industry and what

the requirements were.

Mandla was directed to the

Salesian Institute Youth Projects

where the Waves of Change

programme guided youth at risk in

preparation for working at sea.

He was told to contact Mr. Focus

(Abraham Lottering), the Waves of

Change programme facilitator.

This is where Mandla had to start

improvising plans that would bring

him to the Salesians and assist him

in his plans to secure employment

at sea. Mandla did not have any

transport money. What he did was to

“steal train”. This means that when

someone cannot afford a train ticket,

they get onto the train without

paying – hoping that security will not

catch and prosecute them.

Mandla had to find ways of

resolving transport difficulties

in order to get to the Salesian

Institute during his orientation

period and to return several times

over a five-month period to get all

his paperwork sorted out. He then

travelled to Cape Town to secure

employment. To get a job was his

primary focus. Growing up with an

absent father and a mother who

passed away at an early age, Mandla

wanted security more than anything.

That came in the form of a job

opportunity at Amsol. His patience

and perseverance finally paid off.

He secured a one-year contract

working in the engine room of a big

sea vessel laying telecommunication

cables on the ocean floor.

“This opportunity was worth more

than gold,” Mandla said. “I had a

future and an income. I now have

hope. This would not have been

possible without the assistance of

Mr. Focus and the Salesian Institute

Youth Projects.”

Mandla continues to work for

Amsol and will continue attending

training offered by them to further

his career with them. •

SALESIAN

OUTREACH

PROGRAMME

06

The Outreach programme was the recruitment agent for YES and

WOC programmes.

The programme was originally designed around the needs of people between

the ages of 14 and 30, although in some situations, such as the prisons, these

age restrictions did not apply. Some of these beneficiaries lived on the streets

for many years and some are still dependent on the streets for their survival. The

programme was guided by the principles of respect and acceptance, which in

turn instilled a sense of dignity and self-esteem.

The Outreach programme’s aim or goal was to reduce unemployment among

at risk youth aged 18 to 26 in our immediate context. This was attained by

implementing the following objectives:

1. To provide leadership, goal setting and life skills to youth at risk in

target schools

2. To collaborate with the Department of Correctional Services to reduce

repeat offender rates amongst youth offenders (male and female) in the

Western Cape

3. To deliver life skills training to at-risk youth via partner NGOs and PBOs in

target communities.

The life skills training formed an important component of the action proposed

by the Outreach programme. The objective was to build the resilience of the

participants. We achieved this by addressing problems linked to lack of selfesteem

and self-discipline, as well as assisting with problems with concentration,

trust and coping mechanisms. The coping mechanisms helped participants deal

with the effects of violence, trauma and acute stress.


29

Secondary schools

In partnership with secondary schools, the Outreach programme provided leadership, goal setting and life skills to grade 11

and 12 youth in five target schools. The aim was to equip Grade 11 and 12 learners with the following skills:

• Improved leadership skills

• The ability to develop and formulate goals

• Resilience in the face of the challenges they will encounter upon completing their secondary studies

• Awareness of the additional skills courses on offer at SIYP.

This allowed them to have more options for starting to earn an income once they had completed their schooling.

Department of Correctional Services – Pollsmoor Prison

This programme was intended for pre-release offenders. It was a collaboration with the Pollsmoor Correctional Services

in Tokai. The aim of this intervention was to reduce recidivism by youth offenders. The programme incorporated work

readiness, goal setting, conflict resolution, trust building and life coaching into the life skills component.

Upon completion, participants were readier to be reintegrated back into their respective communities. A total of 249

inmates participated in this outreach programme.

Rehabilitation centres

The programme offered 158 at-risk patients in rehabilitation facilities workshops focused on life coaching, work readiness,

goal setting, conflict resolution and trust building. These interventions were designed to reduce the number of released

patients relapsing and returning to substance use. The programme also assisted in developing education, training and work

plans for post-release.

Blanket drive 2018

A total number of 287 blankets were distributed in six different geographical communities in the year under review. The

objective for 2018 was to build relationships in communities with NGOs, FBOs and CBOs, where community members could

continue to receive support. This ensured that the participants were not solely dependent on SIYP. The blanket drive was

kindly funded by the Bellairs Trust.

Serving communities, especially the most vulnerable, was humbling. The Outreach programme touched the lives of a

total of 2792 beneficiaries in 2018.


Community outreach

In the communities we worked in, the life skills course was tailored to the needs of the partnering NGO, CBO or FBO

(Facility Based Organisation). It included leadership development, life coaching, work readiness, goal setting, effective

communication, conflict resolution and trust building for 237 participants.

Partnership engagements

The SIYP Outreach programme had many established partnerships in the community. These included partners who are

part of the Children and Youth at Risk Forum, as well as other NGOs who could not provide education and skills training

interventions. These organisations referred their youth to SIYP, who networked closely with social workers and schools

where a SIYP outreach worker attended regular meetings.

The worker networked extensively with community groups, community leaders, local libraries and ward counsellors,

to reach the most vulnerable children and youth that had dropped out of mainstream education. Older youth, who

attended youth groups in community halls, got to hear about SIYP at these gatherings. This provided an opportunity for

the youth to examine SIYP as a possible opportunity to improve their levels of development.

In addition to SIYP attending all these meetings and forums, the City of Cape Town also often invited them to present

their work to communities, all of which ensured that SIYP work was promoted to the youth they wished to target.

Relationships continued with Youth Shelters, the Cape Town Central City Improvement District (CCID), Children and

Youth at Risk Forum, the National Association of Child Care Workers (NACCW), the Western Cape Department of

Education and the Department of Social Development.

PORSCHE PAVE

PTRC-ZA

PROGRAMME

07

The “Porsche Project” started in July 2017 and is the latest addition to the

Salesian Institute Youth Project programmes.

The project is officially called the PAVE | PTRC-ZA project, an initiative of PAVE

vocational education programmes, which are a worldwide network. PAVE is an

acronym for Porsche After-Sales Vocational Education and PTRC-ZA stands for

Porsche Training and Recruitment Centre – South Africa.

PTRC-ZA is an international flagship programme supported and realised

by different partners which harness competencies and know-how to create

perspectives, new opportunities and new approaches in the mechatronics arena.

The PTRC-ZA here in Cape Town offers an Automotive Service Mechatronics

Course that runs over two years.

The programme is being jointly implemented by the Salesian Institute Youth

Projects and the local Porsche importer, LSM Distributors (Pty) Ltd. This unique

combination of competencies allows for a fantastic synergy where the Salesian

mission and the mission of Porsche are jointly fulfilled.

The competency-based learning content will equip the trainees with the

competencies and ability to diagnose, repair and service the motor vehicles of

today and tomorrow. The automotive industry is facing the biggest upheaval in

100 years as it undergoes a major shift towards new technologies. The ongoing

move towards digitalisation, connectivity, e-mobility and environmental

protection, amongst others, requires that employees in the automotive industry

have a new set of skills.

Career opportunities in the retail organisations of the Volkswagen Group

include working with the Porsche, Audi, Volkswagen, Bentley and Lamborghini

brands. These opportunities are open to students who successfully complete the

programme. The quality expected of the technicians working on these brands is

exceptional, so we too set high standards of training for the students with a passmark

set at 80% for all tests and assignments.

2018 highlights

Cohort 1’s mid-term assessments were conducted from 27th June to 3rd July 2018. The assessments were planned

and managed by Katrin Schulz, manager of Porsche Training & Recruitment Centre Asia (PTRC-A), who is based in the

Philippines. The 27 students all passed their mid-term assessments.

August 2018 saw the departure of Pedro Gomes from PTRC-ZA as project coordinator. He moved on to pursue his

studies in obtaining his master’s degree in America. He was replaced by Feizal Fredricks on 13th August and at this time the

process of accreditation with the Manufacturing, Engineering and Related Services Sector Education and Training Authority

(merSETA) and the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO) has started, in order for the students to obtain the

South African qualification ‘Automotive Repair and Maintenance’. This will be in addition to the European qualifications

‘Automotive Service Mechatronics’ and the ‘High Voltage Technician Certificate’ for the fully electric Porsche vehicles to be

launched in 2019.
