stakeholders as they host and provide mentorship and support for
learners enrolled in the Community Development learnership.
Achievements
The province maintained good relations with key stakeholders
and a strategic partnership was established between the Premiers
Office, the Department of Social Development and the ETDP
SETA to implement the Development Practices learnership for
150 unemployed learners across the province.
The percentage of placement of learners in workplaces was
high and there was a willingness of employers to participate in
the ETDP SETA’s programmes. More than 80% of the learners
recruited were from the rural areas of the province, more than
84% of the beneficiaries are black and more than 54% are women.
The skills programmes were identified by employers in the ETD
Sector, with the following programmes being requested and
implemented: Assessor Training; Management & Leadership; and
Development of Assessment tools.
Learners were identified by the DBE, FET Colleges and Trade
Unions.
The Assessor training programmes benefitted employees involved
in the Human Resources Development unit of the DBE, by
providing a better understanding of assessment practices to assist
district subject advisors to capacitate educators in the classroom.
The Leadership and Management programme beneficiaries
were Union Office Bearers who are in leadership positions in
the province. The objective of this initiative was to increase the
efficiency of Office Bearers in order for them to contribute
positively to their respective Trade Unions.
FET College lecturers that did not have formal educational
qualifications were trained in the development of assessment
tools. This provided an understanding of the different assessment
tools and the ability to develop appropriate assessment tools.
To assist the provincial Department of Social Development
with its Balelapa household survey project, the ETDP SETA
implemented the Development Practices learnership for 150
unemployed learners from across the province. This initiative
strengthened the relationship between the ETDP SETA and the
provincial government departments, namely: the Premier’s Office
and the Department of Social Development.
Although the project is due for completion in the 2011/12
financial year, seven of the learners have already been employed
by the Department of Social Development.
