Volkswagen produces first Millwright Apprenticeship graduates
In a first for Volkswagen Group South
Africa (VWSA), production employees
with no formal qualifications have
successfully undergone training on one
of the most sought-after fields in the
manufacturing sector.
One of the graduates, Ivor Van Staden, a
VWSA employee of almost 10 years, says
the apprenticeship had been invaluable.
“I have gained invaluable technical,
VWSA managing director, David Powels,
says the trade testing of the Millwright
Apprentices is part of the company’s
“continued focus on improving the skills
of our employees. At VWSA, we have a
strong focus on training and developing
our people and ensuring that they have
access to the very best in learning
facilities and opportunities. To date,
we have invested over R450 million in
training and skills development of our
employees”.
The first 12 Millwright apprentices
recently graduated from the Millwright
Apprenticeship programme, which was
introduced in 2010 through VWSA’s
Technical Learning Academy (TLA).
A Millwright Apprenticeship is a highly
sought-after skills training programme
which focuses on installing and
maintaining electrically automated
industrial machinery.
