ArcelorMittal South Africa sets up and supports education projects in the communities in which we operate. By helping to build and expand schools and other educational facilities, our aim is to provide fair access to a good education, while respecting cultural diversity.We believe that education is the key to individual and community development: a good education equips people to carve out a better life for themselves and to contribute to collective social change.Meetsi- A- Bophelo School

ArcelorMittal supports local learners to develop entrepreneurial skillsArcelorMittal South Africa prides itself in being the lifeblood of a developing nation. As one of the corporate leaders in the field of skills development and training, ArcelorMittal South Africa embarked on a relationship with Junior Achievement South Africa (JASA) aimed at developing youth in the Newcastle area on various life skills competencies. ArcelorMittal South Africa has committed R140 000 to JASA which will be used to prepare youths for life after school by raising their awareness of economic issues, teaching entrepreneurial and life skills, providing an understanding of the business world and enhancing a sense of personal responsibility through practical business experience.
