CASE STUDY
Inhassoro Training
Centre produces more
artisans
20 welders recently graduated from
the Inhassoro Training Centre in
Inhambane Province. The training
centre is a partnership between Sasol
and the Mozambique Institute of
Vocational Training and Labour Studies
Alberto Cassimo (IFPELAC).
The centre offers training in a variety of trades,
including welding, scaffolding, steel fixing and
painting. Since opening in 2017 over 396 artisans have
been trained. A total of 460 is expected to be trained
within coming years. The Inhassoro Training Centre is
a commitment made in the Production Sharing
Agreement (PSA) Field
Development Plan.

We believe that learnerships are a critical platform to
enable the youth of Mozambique. The skills set that
these young men and women acquired are much
sought after within the sector. And we believe that
through the practical experience obtained through
working at the Central Processing Facility in Temane
these young people have unique experience that they
wouldn’t get in many other centres.
The high number of women who have attended the
centre over the years is impressive with an average of
about 30% women in various intakes. The seven young
ladies who recently graduated are an inspiration to
others in this traditionally male dominated industry.
Graduates came from Govuro, Inhassoro, Massinga,
Mabote and Vilanculos districts within Inhambane
Province. The centre offers Mozambicans a chance for
socio-economic upliftment and is creating a talent
pipeline for the country’s industrial growth.
