Support for BEE Firms<br />

Ten organisations were awarded bursaries to train their staff in the<br />

ICT skills programme at Vuselela FET College. The organisations<br />

include emerging providers, ECD centres and other entities<br />

that are ETD related from the Mafikeng local municipality and<br />

Ramotshere Moiloa municipality.<br />

Internships<br />

An Internship Programme was implemented in partnership with<br />

the North West Department of Basic Education (NWDBE)<br />

and the North West University. Twenty unemployed graduates<br />

were funded in the following areas: Human Resource, Business<br />

Management, Information Technology, and Financial Accounting. Of<br />

the total, two learners were permanently placed in employment<br />

by the NWDBE.<br />

As a result of hosting of a successful Imbizo in March 2010 in<br />

Mokgalwaneng, a good working relationship was forged with many<br />

stakeholders, especially the Bakgatla Ba Kgafela Tribal Authority,<br />

with whom 10 learners were placed on an Internship Programme.<br />

These learners will complete the programme at the end of 2011.<br />

The <strong>ETDP</strong> SETA further supported 27 unemployed learners<br />

majoring in scarce skills areas in their studies towards B. Ed<br />

degrees. The learners were recruited in a joint initiative with the<br />

North West University faculty of education.<br />

The North West Province in partnership with the North West<br />

DBE also funded 24 employees completing the PGCE, Honours<br />

in Physical Science, Learner Support, Project Management, and<br />

Master’s degrees in Education and Technology.<br />

Workplace Experiential Learning Programmes<br />

This programme intended to support unemployed learners that<br />

are studying in their respective fields, and require experiential<br />

learning or practical learning to complete their qualification. The<br />

programme was implemented in joint partnership with North<br />

West University, Orbit FET College and Vuselela FET College and<br />

has supported about 60 learners studying Education, Business<br />

Management, Civil Engineering, Marketing and Human Resources<br />

Management. One of the beneficiaries of this programme<br />

has been employed by Lonmin in Rustenburg. Seven of the<br />

beneficiaries have entered into a further Internship Programme<br />

with Vuselela FET College.<br />

Bursaries<br />

Over 50 learners have benefitted from bursary awards as a result<br />

of the above-mentioned partnership with the Bakgatla Ba Kgafela<br />

Tribal Authority.<br />
