As a member firm of the South African Association of Consulting Engineers (SAACE) we subscribe fully to the Affirmative Action viewpoint of this organisation. As a practice, 30% of our employees are categorised as Previously Disadvantaged Individuals. Our recruitment policy is based on preference to persons from previously disadvantaged communities. As is generally accepted, this is easier said than done due to a shortage of suitable qualified engineers and technicians. Our current policy, which augments the SAACE recommendations, is based on an active employee development system. We actively promoted the skills training of residents of Ivory Park, where we have been involved in various labour based road construction projects. To date we have employed a broad spectrum of persons from disadvantaged communities. This has included a graduate engineer, engineering technicians, technicians-in-training and administration staff. It is also our policy to encourage clients to make use of a project to establish a skills training programme within the specific community. To implement this scheme we provide a training function directly related to the project. Even though this concept does not provide permanent employment, as it is project related, we believe there are long term benefits as the community gains valuable experience and expertise. GMH/CPP is also a sponsor to the University of Pretoria's Teacher Mentorship Programme which aims to educate the youth in mathematics and other subjects required for entry into technical study fields. We currently support three black students with their studies at different institutions namely Johannesburg University, Vaal University and CJC Alexandra Campus amounting to almost R45 000.00 per annum. In line with our policy, GMH/CPP has set up GMH/Tswelelo Consulting Engineers as the affirmative and fast tracking empowerment programme of GMH/CPP. As was mentioned in the introduction to this document 25% of each GMH/CPP personnel member is dedicated to the skills transfer process. This process is monitored and managed by the Managing Director of GMH/CPP.
