Welcome to MCCI!

Business in our area

At the turn of the century local businessmen met to form an association for the protection and advancement of business in Middelburg. This was the birth of the Middelburg Chamber of Commerce and Industry. From this small beginning of a handful of members the Chamber mushroomed to a business association with a membership of some 300 businesses. This Chamber is known and respected by its sister Chambers throughout South Africa. The original aim of being a watchdog for business by holding the local government bodies accountable for taxes received from business and of acting as an advisory institution to local businessmen, has remained the same throughout nearly 100 years of its existence. Through the many services offered by the Chamber, business information is distributed to the business community via email, sms and business guides.

MISSION
"As the leading Middelburg business organization we strive to unite the majority of business to beneficially influence our environment by encouraging members to active commitment, innovation and professional service for the protection and advancement of business in Middelburg."

Employer Outreach Survey

The Middelburg Chamber of Business, in conjunction with Nkangala FET College, is sponsoring an Employer Outreach Survey to gather information on the workforce needs of employers in our region. This is intelligence that we can immediately use to improve services to both local employers and students training to work in your industry.

The survey is a way for local employers to communicate their needs to educators, economic development officials, students, career counselors, and job seekers. It answers several questions that are critical to our members:

How difficult is it to find qualified workers in particular occupations?
What important skills are most lacking in new employees?
How many individuals are working in a particular occupation in the region?
What companies are willing to host work-based learning for lecturers and students to gain industry skills?
What skilled labor needs do employers project over the next six months?

If you would like to participate in this survey, please click on the link provided in the email sent to you by the Middelburg Chamber. If you did not receive this email, click here to have the Chamber send you a survey link.

Your responses will be held strictly confidential, and your individual organization’s information will only be shared if you indicate that you would like more information.

Once the initial survey is completed by a sample of employers, the Chamber will host an employer meeting to discuss the results and steps we can take to address your needs.

Regards,

The Middelburg Chamber of Business & Nkangala FET College
