NOCC – Direct Industry Input

National Occupational Curriculum Content (NOCC) was developed by Subject matter Experts together from industry to ensure the following:

  • That the implementation of the training of artisans consists of highly

integrated theory, practical and workplace component

  • New qualifications reflect occupational competence
  • New, industry-designed curricula – reflect closely what is

done in industry currently

  • Trade theory, simulated practice and work experience tightly

interwoven

slide-12
SLIDE 12

Current Status

  • The work stream milestones that have been completed are as follows:
  • 19 Colleges & 26 CoS centres upgraded to meet industry & CoS

standards

  • Equipment has been ordered, received and has been installed in all

colleges.

  • Admin support teams have been put in place
  • Project managers have been appointed in all CoS centres
  • 55 Facilitators have been appointed, and are receiving facilitation &

technical skills advanced training

  • 130 employers participating
slide-13
SLIDE 13

Current Status

  • 808 apprentices recruited in 2019
  • Employers have accessed CoS grants from 13 SETA’s
  • 24 colleges have commenced with apprentice training
  • The identification of employers for the 2nd intake in 2020 has

commenced

  • Industry / Government partnerships in technical skills development

initiatives is becoming more solidified and accepted

  • 3 Employer organisations (RMI, SEIFSA and IOPSA) are implementing

the programme using subject matter experts & project managers referred to as Occupational Team Convenors (OTCs)

slide-14
SLIDE 14

Challenges addressed & lessons learned

  • Implementing a formal college capacitation plan that focuses on all aspects - present and future
  • Contingency plan for apprentices dropping out and for those not meeting all the Occupational

Qualifications outcomes – QCTO and NAMB requirements

  • More small employers vs employers with big numbers
  • Screening of employers to ensure those committed to training of apprentices and excluding those that

want to make a profit out of apprenticeship programmes

  • Facilitation strong partnerships between colleges and their local structures/bodies such as:
  • Business chambers
  • Local government
  • Provincial economic development departments
  • Selecting colleges for appropriate trades that strongly meet the local and regional economy needs, in

the geographical areas that they are located in

  • No grants accepted from SETA’s that are not able to prioritise and champion CoS
  • Ensuring transport and accommodation subsidies for apprentices that reside far from the CoS colleges

– use existing NSF funded projects funding framework

slide-15
SLIDE 15

Partnerships

  • Department is moving towards mainstreaming CoS as a new

model skills development based on Employer and Government Partnerships

  • Partnerships developed & minimized silo functioning through -

facilitation work of OTCs from industry

  • Local

  • NAMB
  • SETA’s
  • A range over 130 companies across all 9 provinces
  • International

  • SETAs committed in excess of 800 grants for CoS apprentice intake for

2020

  • Expanding the CoS programme to more TVET Colleges, more employers

and recruiting more apprentices

  • Opportunity to meet company BBBEE and SETA SLA targets
  • Artisan programmes aligned to 4IR developments
  • Model to deliver quality apprentices ready for the 21 century world of

work – A21

  • Model to increase uptake of occupational programmes beyond trades

Building Sustainability Going Forward

  • Clustering colleges within local and regional economic areas to provide to

provide a comprehensive and complimentary grouping of artisan skills required by the respective local and regional economic areas across the country

  • Preparing to undertake a survey of employers and employer bodies on

their skills development needs with regards to artisan trades, and how CoS could be expanded and rolled out to meet these critical needs

  • Requesting BUSA, and other Industry formations to partner with the CoS

implementing team in an initiative to understand industry’s artisan skills and related needs, and design the expanded CoS roll-out as a relevant sustainable mainstreamed national skills development programme
