Community Engagement

Community Engagement

We are committed to contributing to the communities in which we live and work, creating meaningful change and a positive legacy.

Our community engagement strategy extends across our operations, whether it’s working with our clients to build relationships with the communities in which our projects are delivered, supporting life-changing charities and education programmes, or partnering with our staff on initiatives that are close to their own hearts.

 

In 2021, an in-house foundation was established, to provide a formal vehicle for the administration of our philanthropic, community engagement and sponsorship activities.  The foundation provides support to initiatives that are aligned with the intrinsic philosophies and values of the organisation across four key pillars, being social development, education, innovative thinking and environmental sustainability.

Support provided may be monetary, in-kind (professional time), volunteering or donation of equipment / materials (singular or a combination of some or all).

Internship case studies

ADP regularly hosts scholars and tertiary students at our Cape Town office. ADP is implementing a graduate programme which will attract engineers who can join us on graduation, boosting our resourcing and succession planning.

Joshwill Mhangwana, a grade 11 student at Fairmont High School, was considering mechanical engineering as his future career path. To support his decision-making process, he sought to gain insight of the responsibilities, expectations and tasks that a mechanical engineer would deal with daily. His assignment was to observe and document (film / notes) the workplace, the workers usual schedule and have a discussion on possible projects in development.

Joshwill arrived at the ADP offices in Golf Park, Cape Town in June 2022. Post the visit, ADP received a note of appreciation.

 

In the words of Joshwill:

“Thank you very much for these resources. They helped me greatly in compiling my reflection for my portfolio. More importantly I would like to thank you for the amazing day last week. The Engineering Manager was very welcoming and helped me really grasp the concept of how the engineering industry conducts itself. I thoroughly enjoyed the presentations of one of the project engineers, the head of the drawing office and of one of the electrical engineers. Forgive me for not remembering as many names. All in all, the experience was amazing. I do hope I can visit again during this holiday just to finalize my project. Specifically, the interview with the Engineering Manager that was missed because of his meeting.

Kind regards, Joshwill Mhangwana“
