Process Structures

Lessons Learnt

CATHSSETA

Internal Processes

1

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

2

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 programmes

Suggested Resolution

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

Suggested Resolution

CATHSSETA should explore the following:

• A higher level of engagement with Learners/ Interns, e.g. during induction,

monitoring, and graduation

Employers

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
• nes are recommended by CATHSSETA
• Employers have raised concerns that training providers do not always

provide effective training and that material is sometimes outdated

38

Suggested Resolution

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.
