While much has been achieved in the past year, it is recognised<br />
that there will always be ways to further improve to ensure<br />
quality education outcomes for all learners in the province.<br />
Gauteng Province is committed in maintaining a leading role in the<br />
education sector and equipping every learner with the knowledge,<br />
skills and values required to be successful in the 21 st century.<br />
Learnerships<br />
Early Childhood Development Learnership<br />
A total of 125 unemployed learners were enrolled for the<br />
ECD Level 4 Learnership. The learners were recruited from<br />
Ennerdale (25), Bronkhorstspruit (10), Wiedeveld (30), Garankuwa<br />
(30), Kagiso and Randfontein (30). Through consultation with<br />
stakeholders it was evident that ECD centres in these areas were<br />
staffed by unqualified caregivers. The learners targeted were black<br />
and coloured females. This qualification ensures better teaching<br />
skills for the educators so that children are equipped to enter<br />
main stream schooling.<br />
Occupationally Directed Education and Training<br />
Development Learnership<br />
The OD-ETD programme was delivered to 22 FET lecturers<br />
and 25 black emerging providers. The OD-ETD programme<br />
was requested by the FET Colleges to top up the skills of<br />
lecturers. Lecturers with teaching qualifications were chosen as<br />
those without teaching qualifications first needed to be funded<br />
to complete the Post Graduate Certificate in Education. The<br />
principals of the various colleges confirmed that there was<br />
substantial impact in terms of the facilitation and assessment skills<br />
of lecturers.<br />
Trade Union Practice Learnership<br />
A Trade Union Practice Learnership for 50 employed learners<br />
from the four Federations was delivered by DITSELA.<br />
Youth Development Learnership<br />
The Youth Development Learnership was aimed at 25<br />
unemployed youth from underprivileged communities who were<br />
recruited through the National Youth Development Agency<br />
(NYDA). The <strong>ETDP</strong> SETA signed Memoranda of Understanding<br />
with the City of Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni Municipality, Mogale City<br />
and Randfontein Municipality, which hosted these learners.<br />
Community Development Learnership<br />
The Community Development learnership was implemented for<br />
44 unemployed youths who were hosted by the Department<br />
of Social Services and the Khutsong Municipality, where service<br />
delivery has been problematic. All the learners were from<br />
under-privileged homes and comprised both black male and<br />
female learners. Ward councillors confirmed that the programme<br />
impacted positively on the lives of the residents of Khutsong.<br />
Artisan Development<br />
The <strong>ETDP</strong> SETA supported artisan training for 47 unemployed<br />
youths in partnership with Westcol Public FET, in Mechanical<br />
Engineering and Electrical Engineering at the N1, N2 and N3<br />
Levels. The learners will move to the next level and once<br />
completed, will undertake practical training for a period of 18<br />
months. The learners, including black males and females, were<br />
recruited by the College from destitute homes in the Khutsong,<br />
Randfontein, Carletonville and Mogale City.<br />
Internships<br />
Intern support was provided by the Gauteng DBE, FET Colleges,<br />
Trade Unions, Research Organisations and the HEIs for 52 interns.<br />
These were unemployed graduates who required workplace<br />
experience and the success rate for subsequent employment<br />
was in the region of 70%. Most of the interns recruited were ICT<br />
graduates. The University of Johannesburg employed the largest<br />
number of interns in relation to their allocated numbers.<br />
Skills Programmes<br />
Skills programmes were awarded to 75 employed learners for<br />
critical top-up skills to improve workplace performance and to 54<br />
unemployed youths to enhance access to employment through<br />
the development of skills. The unemployed youths were trained<br />
mostly in ICT and end user computing. The employed learners<br />
were trained mostly as project managers, assessors, moderators<br />
and facilitation and skills development facilitators.<br />
Skills programmes were implemented for 259 shop stewards<br />
from NEHAWU, to enable them to represent their members<br />
more effectively. This was a very successful programme with a<br />
throughput rate of 70% and was undertaken in all nine provinces.<br />
Dissemination of the Scarce and Critical Skills Guide<br />
The scarce and critical skills guide was communicated to over 300<br />
SDFs, sector specialists and delegates in the HR field.<br />
Support for Small Levy-Paying Organisations<br />
The Gauteng Province embarked on a door to door campaign to<br />
encourage small levy-paying organisations to submit their WSPs so<br />
that they are able to claim their 50% mandatory grants.<br />
Support for Disabled Learners<br />
Twenty seven (27) learners living with disabilities were enrolled<br />
in the OD-ETD learnership in partnership with the Thabo Mbeki<br />
Development Trust. Learners successfully completed the following<br />
learnerships: ECD Level 4 (102); Development Practices Level 5<br />
(28) and OD-ETD Level 5 (24)<br />
