MITCHELLS PLAIN AND BEYOND
OUR DOORS ARE OPENCHANGING THE GAME IN MITCHELLS PLAIN AND DURBAN
meMitchells Plain and Durban are seen as an ideal locations by the Shadow Careers team. The impact of setting up in this location is far-reaching. Our aspiration is to create a catalyst for other businesses to follow suit and thereby stimulating the local economy rather than money from these area flowing into more established business areas.
MITCHELLS PLAIN
Students can study closer to home, reducing the typically obligatory travel time into town by up to two hours a day. This allows them to spend quality time with family or pursue other interests – bearing in mind that the majority of people employed in the sector are young women, many of whom are single mothers. This model also supports our environmentally-conscious philosophy of reducing traffic and pollution while helping to balance quality of life.
We moved into our new 1,000 sqm facility in January 2021. This involves creating 6 training rooms, with associated support infrastructure with full digital capabilities. This is in the perfect location in the Mitchells Plain community and we are due to convert the space into a fully-fledged training facility.
We are located in the Watergate Shopping Centre, completed in 2017. It is located on the corner of the Cape Flats Freeway (R300) and AZ Berman Drive.
DURBAN
Our like-hearted partner, Synergy Contact Centre, assisted us to transition to Durban and open a Shadow career creation centre in their building.
The expansion to Durban allows unemployed youth from economically excluded communities to apply for and participate in the Shadow Careers programme.
Our career creation centre is located at 90 Bram Fischer Road, Central Durban at the entrance to the Synergy Contact Centre.
