Hannes, firstly your question is one that is long overdue and possibly a lot more complex than meets the eye. The term you have used, vocational learning practitioner, is important to note. Although the entire L&D value chain is critical, the focus seems to be placed on those at the coal-face – educators.
Different types of educators, however,…[Read more]

Thanks so much for the comment Kate. I use a few targeted pages, but essentially I posted on our business Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/kvrqhubeka) and several of the learership groups on Facebook as well as with specific friends of mine who have access to or contact with potential learners. I also posted on Skills Universe and on Careers…[Read more]

I agree with you both. From my perspective, my business and I will make every effort to help as many of these young people as possible. We can oly do it with your help, though.

Charity, please go to the Facebook page for SAPTA and contact Adolph Kaestner, who heads up the Gauteng region. Let him know that I referred you to him. He is responsible for, among other things, the arrangement of events in the region.

What a phenomenal response to our advertisement that we posted for an upcoming learnership. In less than 24 hours we have had close on 300 applications!. KVRQhubeka is going to do what it can to have as many of these your people placed in learnerships, internships or full employment.

Hi Charles,

Both sides seem to be abused and have a chance as the abuser, particularly when there are very few moderators or assessors for a particular unit standard or qualification. We experienced this recently, when an individual, who I shall not name, knew that we are applying for accreditation in a particular qualification where there are…[Read more]

I hear what you are saying Ken and would like to reserve all my comments until I can fully understand what you are proposing as an alternative. would you be so kind as to do so. Thanks.

The entire process that is being followed is one that is attempting to delegitimize a core segment in our economy, the private training providers, who are incidentally responsible for a substantial amount of the adult learning and development in South Africa. At the very least, and I am not a lawyer, I feel that this is a constitutional…[Read more]
