Liberty Holdings Learnership Class of 2013 takes centre stage On 31 January 2014, Liberty Holdings hosted the Insurance Sector Education and Training Authority (INSETA) with other partners, to honour its Learnership Class of 2013. The 119 successful learners took centre stage, after spending most of 2013, immersed in a programme covering topics such as, human resource management, business administration, contact centre operations, wealth management, long-term insurance and long-term risk insurance assessment. Guest speakers at the graduation ceremony were Mike Gondo, Managing Director of Liberty Holdings Emerging Consumer Market Division and Sandra Dunn, INSETA Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Other important guests included Ivan Mzimela, Group Executive – Group Strategic Services; Liesel Dentlinger, Division Director - Group Human Resources and representatives from the Department of Higher Education and Training’s SETA Performance Management Unit. Janine Adams, Liberty Holdings’ Learnership Programme Manager recognised the significance of the partnership with INSETA as a critical part to the programme’s success. “Our partnership with key industry roleplayers has helped us change the lives of young adults between the ages of 18-35, through this year-long structured learnership programme,” Adams said. Dunn expressed her appreciation for the cooperation between Liberty Holdings and INSETA saying, “We must continue to follow the example set by our late founding father, Nelson Mandela. At his inauguration in 1994, President Mandela said: ‘We must therefore act together as a united people, for national reconciliation, for nation building, for the birth of a new world.’ INSETA believes that it is through working together with our partners that our young people can achieve the much needed critical skills in all sectors of society.” At the graduation ceremony, Akhona Pandle received the Best Overall Learner Award on the 2013 programme. His experience on the programme is a perfect example of how a learnership can change a learner’s reality, in a positive way. Pandle’s dedication and enterprising nature caught the attention of a number of people during his year at Liberty Holdings. Adams explains, “Akhona stood out from his peers for a number of reasons – he worked hard; was focused, curious and is a go-getter. The growth we have all seen with him is inspiring. The young man you see today is definitely not the same shy young man who joined our programme in 2013. More importantly, his efforts have led to a contract position in Liberty Holdings Group Human Resources and that is but one such learnership success story.” Pandle also received the top academic achievement award for the National Qualification Framework (NQF) Level 4 Human Resource Management. In addition, five other top academic achievement awards were presented to the following learners: 1. NQF Level 4 Business Administration: Nolwandle Qakaza (who is now in full-time employment); 2. NQF Level 4 Contact Centre Operations: Nomasabatha Rodolo; 3. NQF Level 4 Wealth Management: Fezile Ntuli (who is now in full-time employment); 4. NQF Level 4 Long Term Insurance: Ncema Motalane (who is now in full-time employment); and 5. Long Term Risk Insurance Assessment: Mduduzi Godfrey Kubheka. INSETA once again congratulates the 119 successful learners of the Liberty Holdings Learnership Class of 2013. Well done!
