At the Ray Mhlaba Skills Training Centre (which is an extension program of the E.P. Child & Youth Care Centre) we offer training to socially & displaced vulnerable youth between the ages of 18-25 (from children’s homes, those who have lost one or both parents, youth who live in households with no formal income and/or who come from child-headed households.) The Training Centre was named after the first Premier of the Eastern Cape Province, Mr. Ray Mhlaba.
