Skills Transfer and Capacity Building
GC HOUSING accepts the responsibility to take an active part in the empowerment and development of disadvantage communities. Through job creation and capacity building, to inculcate a culture of productive activity, this dispels the handout syndrome.
GC HOUSING has an established track record of working on projects with a view to combining resources and expertise of previously disadvantaged communities to the benefit of all parties. It is fundamental principle of the company that all projects will be structural to facilitate the transfer of skills and technology, in a sustainable manner.
We believe that the broader concept of skills and empowerment is essential as local previously disadvantaged communities are to be able to maximise on the opportunities presented in Eastern Cape and KwaZulu Natal as the result of the bold initiative being taken in the Provinces to spearhead meaningful development in the regions.
The different skills in the Company will be networked throughout the execution of any project in such a way that local communities will be technically enriched and empowered as a result of working with the Company.
