WESSA Groen Sebenza Handbook 2021

Non-accredited skills programme

The Groen Sebenza skills programme is a non-accredited training programme specifically designed around building capacity in a broader “landscape management” theme. The approach will be multidisciplinary combining professional and personal development, components of natural resource management encompassing environmental practices and people-environment relationships as well as an introduction to entrepreneurial business skills to capacitate your role at your host organisation and for future endeavours.

The training programme has been designed to provide a general foundation of knowledge and skills which will better equip you to effectively understand your roles and responsibilities in the workplace within the green economy.

We hope that, through this programme, you will be inspired to continue studying towards accredited qualifications in sectors which may not have been previously considered. We believe that it is our collective responsibility to ensure that you access opportunities towards sustainable employment after the programme has ended and in so doing become engaged and active citizens contributing towards the green economy. ALL training, excluding OHS, will be done online to reduce costs using a platform such as Zoom or TEAMS. You will receive a WESSA certificate of attendance upon completion. All learner material will be specifically developed and converted to pdf format which will be emailed to you prior to each training session.

The complete and updated Training Plan will be provided to you during or soon after the induction training.
