Registration
The Ashleigh Erin Foundation was formed in March 2001 and officially registered as a
section 21 company in June 2002. The company is a registered Non Profit Organisation
with the Department of Social Development. We are registered with the Gauteng
Department of Education as a Technical High School and with the Department of
Higher Education as an Independent Further Education and Training (FET) College,
accredited to conduct training in the Engineering sector. Our FET SkillsTraining
College holds a MERSETA accreditation for Fitting & Turning, Welding, Diesel
Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering training courses. In addition, we are
also accredited with the EW SETA for Electrical Engineering and the MICT SETA for
Information Technology. We conduct training through either the Learnership or the
Apprenticeship approaches and work closely with Industry to provide our learners with
on-the-job experiential training as part of the Learnership/Apprenticeship approaches.
Our primary focus is to skill and develop the unemployed youth and young adults
within our community. We do this by initially providing them with the foundational
engineering skills (Hand-and Power Tool Skills and Health and Safety Skills) that will
enable them to be fast tracked into an engineering career path, and then linking them
with Industry so that we can eventually present them to Industry as trade tested artisans
on completion of their training.
.
OBJECTIVES
Our organisational strategic objectives are set out as follows:
I
MULTI-DISCIPLINARY APPROACH
LOCATION
Ithemba Institute of Technology is located in Tladi, Soweto. This area is by all accounts
the poorest area within Soweto with so many households surviving only on grants and
pension payouts for the elderly. Research conducted in this area a few years ago
indicate that the average monthly income per household was under R3000 per month.
Many adults in this area are unemployed and youth and young adults invariably find
themselves unemployed and searching for work after completing grade 12. It is our
opinion that the unemployment in this area is escalated by learners who have managed
to secure training opportunities, but the training that they have been exposed to does not
match the needs of the economy. They therefore cannot secure gainful employment. Our
expressed concern is that skills development programmes should be based on the exact
needs of the countrys economy. When we train learners according the skills need of the
economy, their chances of securing sustainable employment opportunities increases
considerably.The cycle of unemloyment and poverty in this and other similar
communities can only be broken through the provision of industry relevant education
and skills development opportunities in line with the demands of an economy that cries
out for skilled people, especially in the engineering sector. Our organisations vision of
exposing our community to engineering skills training opportunities will eventually
create a pool of skilled people who have secured employment. Our view is that this is
the only way to improve the living conditions of the majority of the people living in
Tladi and surrounding areas.

requirements of our Industry partners. At the beginning of 2012, Ithemba was again enagaged by the
Gauteng Provincial Government to conduct a learnership training programme for at least 250
unemployed learners.In terms of this agreement, Ithemba had to secure work placement opportunitues
for all of the 250 learners. Ithemba managed to successfully secure the required workplace
opportunities and the learners are currently engaged with the training.
