Testen, was das Zeug hält.

NATIONAL ARTISAN DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT CENTRE
One-stop-shop support centre for Artisan Development in South Africa
WHO IS NADSC?
The project came about when the Memorandum of Agreement
was signed between the Ekurhuleni East College for Further
Education and Training, the Department of Higher Education
& Training represented by the Chief Directorate INDLELA. The
project commenced on the 16th June 2012.
The Artisan & Technician Development Technical Task Team
(ATD-TTT) the stakeholder representative body established
by the Human Resource Development Council (HRDC)
of South africa has, through its work-plan, identified the
three primary blockages to a national artisan development
programme. These three blockages were tabled before the
Human Resource Development Council on 15 June 2012 and
unanimously endorsed for removal by relevant implementing
partners. These three blockages are the lack of:
• Detailed, accurate, current date for artisan trade
prioritisation, workplaces and placement, scientific
target setting, monitoring;
• A single guaranteed funding model for all artisan trades
listed in the Government Gazette applicable to all sectors
including a single artisan learner administration and grant
disbursement system; and
• An Artisan Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) system
that is focused on supporting persons who are working
as support workers in the Engineering field to become
certified artisans.
THE NADSC WAS ESTABLISHED TO ADDRESS THE FIRST
ARTISAN DEVELOPMENT BLOCKAGE IDENTIFIED BY THE
HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL.
