The Student Support office supports our Home Management students in securing full-time employment after completion of their course, thus empowering them to become financially independent. Since the Centre's establishment in Somerset West (South Africa) in 2002, almost 2100 students have been trained. Students are assisted in finding jobs, helping them to improve their standard of living.

We also offer ad hoc skills training courses (Childminding, Family Meals, Sewing Skills) on request, for  individuals who would like to improve their skills.

Helderberg Development Centre started as an associate of the Bergzicht Training Centre in Stellenbosch.
