Good morning to skills-universe members,
One of the downsides of our community site growing is that it becomes more visible to people who don’t have skills development in mind. We have had a plague of applications from spam type applications, and our technical expert has been hard at work excluding them.

If we have missed anyone and you are…[Read more]

Hi all,

After more than 10 years of working and living in South Africa I, unfortunately, have to return to the Netherlands.

This is another opportunity for the skills-universe members in the Gauteng region – and those able to travel to the region – to get together in person.

Please, we would also appreciate volunteers to give our members feedback on the meeting.

Thank you Debbie – good to hear from you – although in difficult circumstances.

I would strongly agree with Lynel. I know that you are an extremely experienced and competent ETD practitioner.

It appears that the SETA with which you you are working are unwilling/unable to engage with you and ensure that relevant legacy qualifications are being…[Read more]
Wilma de Villiers started the topic NEED GUIDANCE in the forum Vacancies & Seeking Practitioners for Contracts or Projects 5 days, 6 hours ago

A training provider in education approached me to work as a consultant to provide guidance to facilitators/ assessors regarding assessment. My role will be to consult from a moderator’s view point. I don’t have an idea what the consulting fee should be – per hour/ per day>
Des Squire replied to the topic Unit standard requiremetns – are they met? in the forum The NQF, Articulation, & RPL 5 days, 18 hours ago

No jenny, It would have to be related NQF training or alternatively if related to numeracy/literacy then an IEB assessment is commonly used.

Thank you Xolani and Lynel – Employees are definitely entitled to fair labour practices.
If performance is such an issue in the SETAs and there are HR people in the SETAs – do they influence and manage performance delivery?

Is there a reason for not replying. Please advise even if I don’t meet your criteria so that I dont continue to send unnecessary e-mails.

Hope to hear from you soon

Thank you for the clarification Lynel – that has been my concern – that there are questions about how the people matters are being handled.

On your last question – my understanding is that as stakeholders we have certain constitutional rights – to be consulted – and to fair administrative action. So the 23rd will definitely be an interesting day.
