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 />
