Requirement: Looking for an outsourced BBBEE training service provider
My client, one of the country’s leading retailers listed on the JSE, has over the years developed a culture of commitment to its employees. A member of the Wholesale and Retail (W&R) SETA this organisation, with its national footprint, has been a client since 2009.
Our business relationship started after a failed attempt at outsourced BEE training through another service provider. My client was, at the time, dissatisfied with the slow progress of its employees and frustrated at the dwindling service levels of the supplier. As the country’s leading service provider of outsourced BEE training we were able to offer my client not only a solid track record but also exceptional service and quality training.
Product Introduced: ABET – core products ranging from literacy and numeracy to life orientation
Triple E Training’s core products comprise of various learning areas ranging from the basic subjects, Communication in English (literacy) and Mathematics (numeracy), to specialised subjects such as Life Orientation and Economic Management Sciences. Our basic learning areas are available across the full spectrum of NQF 1 from ABET Level 1 Basic to ABET Level 4. The more specialised learning areas are only available at ABET Level 4.
My client identified 40 retail stores at which 10 employees gets selected every year to participate in skills development programmes. Each year Triple E Training conducts a placement assessment that allows us to determine the correct starting point for each group of learners.
One of our highly skilled ABET facilitators then conduct the training, which is usually 120 hours per learning area, on-site at the store’s local training facility. Because we understand the learner, each training session is three hours long and that means that it takes on average six months to complete one learning area.
Expert opinion: ABET ultimately rewards the individual with a fulfilling career plan
Through committing to Adult Based Education and Training (ABET/AET) on an ongoing basis my client can proudly proclaim that the organisation’s HR policies govern career plans that ultimately translate into job security for all its people.
ABET provides foundational learning tools, knowledge and skills such as reading, writing, understanding, listening, numeracy and mathematics, thereby improving communication and problem solving. It further addresses abilities that will enable the employee to embark on a journey of personal development that ultimately rewards the individual with a fulfilling career plan.
