Enterprise development is managed through our Local Economic Development (LED) and Small to Medium Enterprise (SME) initiatives.
Small and medium-size enterprises (SME’s) play a pivotal role in stimulating growth and development in economies globally. SME’s provide a platform for job-creation and black economic empowerment in our emerging economy.
ARM supports the development and growth of SME’s across the spectrum and in all sectors. Small scale mining input and/or output supply projects will inevitably be prioritized;
ARM’s preferential procurement programme enhances mutually beneficial business partnerships, while workshops, training and development seminars provide information and practical advice on starting small businesses, preparing business plans, facilitating access to finance and enabling participation in the mainstream economy;
ARM perceives itself as part of catalyst stakeholders in empowering SME’s to reach higher levels of development.
In addition to the above:
ARM focuses on:
Those most disadvantaged by unemployment, namely women and the youth, ARM will support programmes that provide:
Direct job-related training under accredited programmes;
Bridging initiatives that prepare people better for the world of work and Specific job-creation programmes in the public and private sector.
