CEBT PROGRAMME OVERVIEW.
Development Pathway
CEBT has developed programmes that follow a clear developmental pathway, beginning with educational support and skills development to prepare our community members for economic opportunities. Our approach ensures that Carolina residents receive foundational support through our education initiatives before advancing to skills training, which leads to employment opportunities or business development assistance in the mining sector.
Facilitation and Support
Building on this foundation, we facilitate employment placement and business development through our network of mining sector partners. Our ICT services programme provides technological support, ensuring community members have the digital access needed, while our advocacy programme ensures community interests are represented in key decision-making forums. This approach to community development, coupled with our advocacy work for mining-affected communities, creates sustainable pathways for economic participation.
