From a CHIETA-funded Boilermaking qualification supported by a R69,000 annual grant to employment as a Boilermaking Facilitator at DSTT, Philangwezi Praisegod Msomi’s journey shows how skills development can create lasting opportunity.

18/09/2026

ONE GRADUATE. ONE PLACEMENT. FROM CHIETA-FUNDED TRAINING TO EMPLOYMENT.

At 28, Philangwezi Praisegod Msomi from Umlazi, Durban, has turned a CHIETA-supported skills development opportunity into a career and an opportunity to help develop others.

Philangwezi successfully completed his Boilermaking qualification through the Durban South Training Trust (DSTT), developing practical and technical skills in fabrication, measurements, technical drawing and the interpretation of engineering drawings.

With support from CHIETA through a R69,000 annual grant, he was able to pursue his training and build the skills needed to enter the engineering and manufacturing sector.

His journey was not without challenges.

Philangwezi remained committed to completing his qualification despite the disruptions caused by COVID-19 and other challenges during his training period.

Following his successful completion, his journey took another important step: DSTT offered him employment as a Boilermaking Facilitator.

Today, Philangwezi is not only building his own career and earning an income; he is using the knowledge and experience he gained through his training to help develop aspiring artisans.

His story demonstrates what is possible when skills development is connected to real employment opportunities — creating a pathway from learner, to qualified artisan, to facilitator and mentor.

One graduate. One placement. A wider impact.
