About Go for Gold Education-to-Employment Programme

The Go for Gold Programme is a fully integrated, four-phased programme initiated by the construction sector. It was established in 1999 in response to the critical shortage of candidates from disadvantaged communities with the necessary grounding in science and mathematics for entry into the built environment. At each phase the programme addresses the critical skills needed to progress to the next phase and in this way requirements at entry, intermediate and advanced levels, are aligned with the needs of both the participants and the industry partners who will ultimately employ them. Go for Gold is the quintessential programme of successful private-public partnerships, where Go for Gold acts as non-profit conduit between construction partner companies and the education sector, ensuring the youth remain the primary focus and that all stakeholders and participants benefit from the relationship. Go for Gold offers a successful model that can easily be replicated into any industry and sector. For this reason, in 2021 we expanded into the manufacturing sector to offer our beneficiaries a wider variety of technical professions they can pursue. We have operations in the Western Cape and Gauteng regions and invite more technical companies to the join the fold of South Africa's top corporate concerns who have partnered with Go for Gold. The beauty of Go for Gold is that our programme creates a win-win for all involved. Ask us more about our #BBBEE and #Tax #incentives we offer. Contact Karen@goforgold.org.za for more information.
