Nyeleti Consulting prides itself on the development of graduates and young professionals especially in relation to transformation.
The Nyeleti mentorship program has the primary objective of preparation of candidates for professional registration with various professional bodies within the industry such as the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA), The South African Council for the Project and Construction Management Professions (SACPCMP), etc. The program is aimed at all members of staff who have obtained the relevant academic qualifications (BEng, BSc Eng, B Tech or N Dip) and who needs to undergo a period of practical training within the workplace in order to gain the necessary experience to enable them to successfully submit an application for professional registration.

Seconded Staff Programme
In order to show our commitment to the progressive and sustainable development of the industry, Nyeleti continuously takes on personnel from our client bodies at no cost to our client, and as a company committed to skills transfer, adopts full responsibility for their professional development.
Skills transfer is a critical element to the continued long-term success of any engagement and is an important part of our company’s delivery strategy. With this being acknowledged, Nyeleti has (as an initiative to their commitment and professional responsibility towards the industry) embarked on a drive to empower and mentor technical staff of other stakeholders, including government institutions. This is achieved through the secondment of these external personnel to our offices to work with our team on a continuous basis where practically possible. This process guides the seconded staff and gives them the “hands-on” experience which enables them to function effectively in their working environment, and subsequently register professionally with the various Built Environment professional bodies.
