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 />
