Lessons Learnt

Process Structures

31

Lessons Learnt

CATHSSETA

Internal Processes1 Key Finding

CATHSSETA processes are viewed as inefficient (as reported by Employers and

Learners)

Insufficient time allowed for Employers to apply and recruit for learning programmes

Learners are receiving their certificates very late or are receiving them with incorrect details

32

Lessons Learnt

CATHSSETA should explore the following: Increasing staffing to address resourcing constraints that may be negatively

impacting support provided to Employers Advance planning of learning programme funding windows to enable

earlier notice to Employers and better alignment with industry timelines Better management of the certification process/ expectations

33

CATHSSETA

Internal Processes1 Suggested Resolution

Lessons Learnt

Employers

Internal Processes2 Key Finding

The quality and extent of mentoring provided by Employers does not fully

meet Learner/ Intern needs

34

Suggested Resolution

CATHSSETA to investigate training to be provided to mentors, based on

Employers specification of needs.

Key Finding

CATHSSETA engagement with Employers reported as inadequate

Employer have reported that low levels of engagement with CATHSSETA limit the efficacy of the relationship, and the degree of beneficial support from CATHSSETA

Employers have requested guidelines for the running of learning programmes

Stipends are deemed inadequate to meet Learner/Intern needs, resulting in Learner/Intern hardship or cost overruns for Employers

Employers have raised concerns regarding the lack of support received from CATHSSETA

Employers have requested additional funding for mentorship Employers have raised concerns that CATHSSETA is not present during the

induction of their Learnership/Internship programmes35

Lessons Learnt

CATHSSETA to consider the following:

Increased engagement with Employers to better manage the relationship,

and to proactively address Employers needs

Proactively managing Employer and Intern/ Learner expectations around

stipends, by communicating stipend focus and structural limitations

Provision of Guidelines for Employers for conducting learning programmes

Improved CATHSSETA presence at Learner/Intern induction programmes

Key Finding

CATHSSETA engagement with Learners/Interns reported as inadequate

• Learners have raised concerns about the level of contact they have with CATHSSETA and the extent of support provided

37


CATHSSETA should explore the following: • A higher level of engagement with Learners/ Interns, e.g. during induction,

monitoring, and graduation

Lessons LearntEmployers

Internal Processes

Training Providers

5

Key Finding

Communication and support between Employers of Learners and Training

Providers requires improvement.

• Employers are unaware of which training providers are available and which ones are recommended by CATHSSETA

• Employers have raised concerns that training providers do not always provide effective training and that material is sometimes outdated

38


CATHSSETA to consider the following:

• Increasing Employer awareness of training providers

• Providing Employers with increased avenues for reporting issues with training providers and training material, should this be required.
