VISION & MISSION

6

Mission & Vision & Company Ideologies

CTS is an ever-growing concern and is constantly training and developing its employees as well as recruiting new Facilitators and Material Developers. All the operational staff members are subject matter experts in their field and contribute the advancement and development of the business focus. With the ever-increasing demand in technical training throughout the country as well as beyond the borders of South Africa, our vision is to extend the boundaries of our core business into other avenues of training; such as People Development Training. We endeavour to reach these goals through building solid relationships with clients and other training providers in order to be able to network the training environment through offering a broader service.

Mission Statement

“To develop and train the under-developed and to create opportunity

for those who were never given the chance”

Vision Statement

“To conduct business of the highest ethical standards and to strongly regard values, such as integrity, growth and service excellence as the foundation of its relationships with its customers.

To assist its employees to understand the principles of dignity and worth and how these principles translate into giving each employee meaning and purpose within the business”

Ideologies

• To communicate effectively to our internal team members constantly; • To encourage creativity & diversity in each spectrum of the business; • To run a cost effective & efficient operation; • To practise & promote respect & honour to all team members; • To service our clients with the highest level of professionalism; • To maintain a quick turn-around time to our clients.

BBBEE STATUS

7

BBBEE Status At present, according to the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Codes of Good Practice, CTS has been classified as an exempted Micro Enterprise deemed as a Level Four Contributor with a score of between 65 - 75% as of 20 June 2016. The future objectives for CTS in respect to BEE are to obtain maximum points for five of the seven pillars of the Qualifying Small Enterprise scorecard and there are many ways of achieving this, such as: • To increase the staff complement in respect of black employees; • Focus on increasing the skills levels of the staff, especially newer entrants; • Ensure that the BBBEE status of all suppliers is to be obtained; • Budget and monitor all expenditure in respect of enterprise development and residual participation. The BEE Certificate is available to be presented upon request.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

8

Corporate Social Responsibility

Customised Training Specialists is committed to the development of people from disadvantaged and underprivileged backgrounds and has administered its own Mechanical Learnerships under the following names, for unemployed candidates from the local Pinetown and surrounding areas:

• National Certificate: Mechanical Engineering - NQF2 Fitting This project was in line with the essence of our vision as an organisation that aims to ultimately develop the underdeveloped and combat the skills shortage in South Africa. The progression for these learners, on completion of the above Learnership, is as follows:

• National Certificate: Mechanical Engineering – NQF3 Fitting • National Certificate: Mechanical Engineering – NQF4 Fitting • National Trade Test Certificate: Mechanical Engineering Fitting

CTS has also been involved in a development project, aptly named “Forever Forward”, of a young individual, Dale Bosch, who was unemployed at the time, and put him through a recognised Draughting course with Hirst & Carter in 2009. Dale successfully passed the course and was given an opportunity to work for a small draughting company in the Pinetown area. This opened further doors for him to be developed and later to become permanently employed. It is believed that Dale is now married with children and is doing very well for himself and we, at CTS, are extremely proud to have been part of this young man’s life and his succession story. CTS further embarked on another personal development project, called “Project Seek”, for a young lady, Lauren Buitendyk. Lauren has experienced a tough upbringing and needs to be a given a chance in life to find her passion and to “seek” her title in the market place. The CTS staff have rallied together as a support team to give Lauren the life skills and mentoring that she needs in the business arena so that she can, one day, be well versed in admin functions and advanced computer skills. Lauren has since left CTS and managed to find employment with a reputable manufacturing company on the South Coast, which CTS had a hand in.

CLIENT PARTNERING

13

Client Partnering CTS believes in developing a long-term partnership and relationship with its clients as a training provider who can be called on at any time to aid and advice in developing the company’s key stakeholders – namely its employees & personnel. CTS is proud to be affiliated to and servicing the largest food manufacturing producer in South Africa namely Nestlé SA (Pty) Ltd. The project involved developing all operators throughout 90% of the factories within South Africa from being the traditional “push-button” operator to becoming fully-fledged Technical Operators who are capable of operating and maintaining their machines. CTS has been involved with a “Machine Ownership” Project with Trellidor in Phoenix which entailed the development of ALL operators / machine setters, over a two-year period, in order for them to take ownership of their machines / equipment and to align the factory to World Class Manufacturing standards. We also embarked on running their Millwright Apprentice training which was part of a four-year plan. Entyce Beverages – Tea Factory partnered with CTS over a 4 year period to up-skill and train all their operators and line mechanics. This program involves extensive module development for their machines and equipment. This venture was aborted and a transition was made to develop the operators towards a registered NQF3 Packaging Operations Learnership. One of our biggest clients has proven to be Unilever SA Foods who entrusted CTS to run the FLM aspect of the NQF level 3 Learnership. CTS has also delivered a customised Coaching and Mentoring program for their artisans and supervisors. Our long term partnering with Ethekwini Municipality entails running their Section 28 artisan training and up-skilling their operators. CTS is also involved in delivery of an NQF 2 Mechanical Learnership for identified employees of the Water & Sanitisation department. CTS has also been awarded a tender with the municipality, involving the training of 20 apprentices of a 3 year period. Our partnership with Imana Foods has evolved since 2007 and includes development of extensive training material and training their operators on the technical and operational aspects of running their machines. The main drive behind this training is to improve line efficiency and the basic skills levels of the operators. It also encompasses training them to operate and maintain their machines a lot more effectively and efficiently with a strategy of them becoming fully-fledged Technical Operators as a long-term goal.

CTS has been involved with a strategic developmental program with Plascon - Durban and includes development of process operational training material and the training of their operators on the autonomous maintenance aspects of their machines to improve machine efficiency and overall line efficiency. The company embarked on a long-term strategy for their operators to become fully-fledged Technical Operators in the future but, unfortunately, the company changed their strategy and aborted the project. Rainbow Farms also partnered with CTS to up-skill and train their operators, using their various Mill and Production operations in the Pietermaritzburg area as a pilot project to measure the effectiveness of the training before they embark on a regional roll-out plan. This program involves machine specific training material development for their machines and the implementation of maintenance check lists. Entyce Beverages – Coffee Factory partnered with CTS to up-skill and train their operators in the creamer packaging division towards becoming fully autonomous Technical Operators. This program involved extensive module development for their machines and equipment. They have also embarked on a skills gap analysis exercise for their current artisans at the Isando site and CTS was to be involved in conducting the relevant gap analysis exercises for the mechanical and electrical artisans. However, the company’s strategy was nationalised to one group strategy of administering the NQF3 Packaging Operations Learnership Qualification. South African Breweries Limited has partnered with CTS to up-skill and train their skilled craftsmen at their South Sudan Bottling Limited and International Breweries Plc, Ilesa factories towards achieving a recognised Engineering Qualification (1155) through City & Guilds. Paul Hartog is a registered External Verifier for City & Guilds and will be the preferred quality assurance body for SAB Miller, for the implementation and delivery of this qualification at the sites in South Sudan and Nigeria. It is also SAB’s intention that all delegates successfully achieving this qualification will undergo a simulated Trade Test, which will be aligned to the South African merSETA Trade Test. In the interim SAB Miller has been bought over by InBev – Belgium.

Kenmare Moma Mining has embarked on a thorough technical assessment training needs analysis project for their technical workforce and have chosen CTS to partner with in this intervention. The primary purpose of the exercise is to establish the skills levels and aptitude of their workforce and then to develop them towards to RSA artisan standards. CTS has already assisted Kenmare in setting up a fully operational technical training centre on site, which will soon be approved by City & Guilds – UK to deliver the 2850 Engineering Qualification at Level 1&2 in three disciplines. Tongaat Huletts – Voermol was approached to conduct a skills gap analysis of their engineering staff towards the end of 2015, in three of the disciplines, to establish the skills levels and produce an evaluation report of behaviour of their staff. This proved to be a very successful exercise, to the extent that the Sugar Division of Tongaat Huletts, recently decided to execute the same exercise across 5 of their milling factories in the KZN region. CTS has also been approached to become part of their internal recruitment team, in assisting with recruiting their appreciates for the 5 milling factories for 2017, by means of conducting a technical & PXT job fit psychometric assessment on all applicants. CTS has been delivering training for Tetra Pak for many years, and were recently awarded the status of a ”Preferred Provider” for Tetra Pak where all external training interventions will be administered and project managed by CTS. This has caused CTS to be extremely well networked with many sister providers in offering and delivering training outside of its core offerings.
