Independent Report: Youth Life Skills Training Centre and
S.A. timber and recovery (NGO) ending February 2010
The Juvenile Life Skills Training Centre located in Glen Austin, Midrand. Management and Teachers, learners can pride itself on a remarkable achievement ending 2009-2010.
667 young children / learners / men, destined to be a burden on society, were taken on by the centre last year. A 93% success rate was achieved when 142 juveniles passed various courses and life skills programmes. And now hold jobs in the Gauteng region and are thus self-supporting individuals within the community and 21 juveniles qualified in milling courses and life orientation programs and now hold operators, supervisors, or foreman positions at the businesses of some of the centre’s sponsors, within the Forest Industry.
These results are even more impressive and certified, in light of the fact that, of the 4 juveniles who were unsuccessful, 2 were lost due to parental interference and 1 died in a car accident. Only 1 succumbed to drugs and is in jail for theft.

The above does show that we rehabilitate and turn around any child, and can make a difference to those who choose to make the effort, or to those who just need the chance to be guided or redeemed whichever the case may be, as the centre’s motto ‘When you enter our gate, it's the first day of your new independent life of the future’ reflects.
Although we are continuously trying to improve the techniques and methods used and the quality of our staff teachers and management, the fact of the matter is that an overwhelming number of our students have succeeded in reversing their lives.
However nothing would have been achieved without the facilities,methods and the helpers, sponsors or supporters, taking the time in their day to put a little extra thought and effort our way. Deputy Principal Mr. CJ. Uys |
