TRAINING AND
DEVELOPMENT
In 2022, the SACO in South Africa Team of Companies made a significant investment by acquiring a major shareholding in Metro Minds, an accredited training provider in South Africa established in 2006 by Juliette Fourie. This strategic move underscores SACO in South Africa’s commitment to maintaining relevance and fostering mutual growth through shared values and aligned objectives.
SACO in South Africa, recognised as a Top Employer for the past two years, and Metro Minds, acclaimed for their innovations in people development and education, form a complementary partnership centred around customer service and shared ownership. This acquisition represents the convergence of two journeys aimed at mutual growth, driven by a common passion and aligned values.
Metro Minds is accredited by various Sector Education Training Authorities (SETAs), the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO), and serves as an associate faculty for the Da Vinci Business School, adhering to standards set by the South African Qualifications Authority.
