2. OVERVIEW

• Elijah Barayi Memorial Training Centre (EBMTC) was officially opened on the 4th December 1993 and was officially opened by the honorable Cde Cyril Ramaphosa, the first General Secretary of the National Union Of Mineworkers as the Training College for NUM.
• EBMTC is a conference, Hotel and catering Centre situated in the historical town of Yeoville. It is mainly used as training facilities for NUM leadership, members and staff.
• Elijah Barayi Memorial Training College
• The union’s third major intervention to ensure the educational development of mineworkers began in 1993.  In this year, the National Congress of the NUM decided to establish a college to assist in educating and training NUM members and leadership. We have never looked back since!

How the Centre works

• The Centre is a section 21 (not profit) company and currently employs up to 24 previously disadvantaged people, the majority of whom are woman. In addition, the Centre provides an opportunity to the unemployed to take up casual work as the need arise.
• It is a residentially- based training facility, where NUM members from across the country spend a week at a time engaging in a range of interactive training programmes.
• When the Centre is not being used for NUM related training activities, its facilities are hired out.  The charge-out rate is kept as low as possible, so that the Centre remains affordable to a broad range of organisations.
• Approximately 60% of the space in the building is used for NUM education, leadership and conference programmes. Various government departments, non-government organisations, other trade unions and international donor agencies use the remaining 40% of the space. 
• The History of Our Building
• Our beautiful and character-filled building was bought by Num property management wing and converted to meet the requirements of the college. This was the latest development in a long and interesting history.

• EBMTC is convenient venue for your conferencing and related services. It is situated 25 kilometers away from the JHB Airport, a walking distance to the city center (CBD) or Braamfontein town and 5 minutes drive to Killarney Mall.
