5 1 Introduction Skills development is a national priority across the South African economy, hence Government s decision nine years ago to create a Sector Education and Training Authority (Seta) for each of the 25 economic sectors (since reduced to 23). The Isett Seta was established specifically to address skills development in Information Systems, Electronics and Telecommunications Technologies one of the most fragmented and complex of all the sectors. Like the other remaining 22 Setas, ICT work is regulated by the Skills Development Act, which is overseen by the Department of Labour, and funded through payroll levies paid by employers in the sector. 1.1 Abbreviations ICT Information and Communication Technologies Isett Seta Information Systems, Electronics and Telecommunications Technologies Sector Education and Training Authority NQF National Qualifications Framework OFO Organising Framework for Occupations PoE Portfolio of Evidence RPL Recognition for Prior Learning SAQA South African Qualifications Authority SARS South African Revenue Services SDF Skills Development Facilitator SME Small and Micro Enterprises females representing 35%. 1.2 Sector Profile The ICT Sector has approximately employees spread across levy-paying companies, 85% of them small and micro enterprises (SMEs). This composition, together with the unique dynamics of the technology sector, poses significant skills development challenges. The employee profile reflects that there are highly skilled employees within the sector. The ICT Sector is moving away from the perception of being a White male dominant environment, with 1.3 Factors Influencing Change Many challenges face the sector; most noticeably that ICT emerged as one of the important areas of the economy cutting across a wide range of sector domains. The ICT Sector has always been recognised as a strategic holding centre to the future growth and prosperity of South Africa s economy. Most of the government s socio-economic initiatives, such as poverty alleviation, grant administration, education and training, and national healthcare system depend on the availability of a sound national ICT infrastructure.

6 Key to the process of ICT skills development, the challenge is educating, training and integrating a large proportion of the population that is not yet part of the information society. 1.4 Current Education and Training Supply The development of ICT skills has been identified as an important aspect of growing the ICT Sector in South Africa, even though the digital divide is often perceived as a problem relating to access to technology. However, the Isett Seta endeavours to develop strategic quality human capital in relation to the needs of the South African ICT Sector that will contribute to social upliftment and the stimulation of economic growth - by raising the levels, quality and relevance of education and training in the sector. The Isett Seta also encourages partnerships between public and private employers to benefit employers, employees and the unemployed through the development of high level skills, as well as through present education and learning programmes on offer. 1.5 The Isett Seta The acronym Isett Seta stands for Information Systems, Electronics and Telecommunications Technologies Sector Education and Training Authority. It is a public enterprise that now reports to the Department of Higher Education and Training, and its primary role is to stimulate and facilitate skills development in the ICT Sector in South Africa. The Isett Seta is one of 23 Setas in South Africa. The details of the other Setas can be obtained from the Department of Labour via their website 2 Purpose and Benefits of this Career Guide The purpose of this career guide is to assist South African: Persons with ICT experience but no related formal qualification to utilise the means available to obtain a formal qualification that matches or exceeds your experience. Learners still at High School or University to identify occupations within the Isett Sector that you may be suited to, as well as to identify whether your current learning encompasses the types of topics that are in demand in the Isett Sector. Graduates to identify a career where demand exists within the ICT Sector of South Africa and to assess whether further top-up development of their skills may be An employee looking for a new occupation to identify occupations within the Isett Sector that you could target, as well as to identify whether your envisaged learning programme encompasses the types of topics that are in demand in the Isett Sector. An employee wanting to advance your current skills to assess what skills are seen by employers in the industry to be critical to the occupation. Unemployed persons to assess the career possibilities available within the ICT Sector of South Africa, and what skills are seen by potential employers to be critical to the occupation. Employers and Skills Development Facilitators (SDFs) to assess the demand for the various occupations and what top-up skills the sector perceives to be critical. It is recommended that employers and SDFs should review this entire document with the following objectives: Page 2 Isett Seta Career Guide, 2010, Version 1.1

7 To assess the demand for skilled persons in the various occupations in relation to your own needs within your organisation. If you have concerns about acquiring the personnel you need, you can consider: Up-skilling existing personnel through learnerships, internships, skills programmes and short courses. Taking on unemployed persons and developing the required skills through learnerships, skills programmes and short courses. To advise your staff, potential employees and bursars on the various opportunities available to them through furthering their careers. While Isett has a limited budget for assisting with skills development, you can approach Isett for assistance. If you decide to send personnel on learning programmes, it would be worthwhile to review the critical skills mentioned per occupation in Chapter 5 to ensure that the learning programmes address these critical skills. Note that Chapter 6 has been included for Employers and SDFs to familiarise yourselves with the learning programmes that are available, and how Isett Seta may be able to assist you. Training Providers to determine where the needs of the sector s employers are in terms of occupations that are proving difficult to fill, and what learning programmes they should produce to address the need for further top-up skills development of employees. It is worthwhile for training providers to review Chapter 5 to assess whether your institution is addressing the needs of the Isett Sector in terms of filling the demand for occupations and in terms of the content designed into learning programmes (Chapter 5). Training providers may also wish to use this guide for advising learners on career planning in ICT Sector. 3 The Starting Point to Furthering Your Career 3.1 Introduction This guide can be used to develop an understanding of the types of occupations that are in demand among the Isett stakeholder companies, as a basis for planning a career and selecting a program of study. Once you have decided what occupation you wish to pursue, there are several paths you can choose from in order to develop the necessary skills, as explained below. Once you have reviewed the introductory content of this chapter, the following two chapters will assist you to: Determine what sorts of occupations are likely to be available to you among companies in the Isett Sector. What sorts of skills you should have or should acquire for the occupation. Assess what skills you should make sure are included in the curriculum if you are a person in or intending to embark on a learning programme. Isett Seta Career Guide, 2010, Version 1.1 Page 3

8 Assess what skills you need to include in your curriculum if you are a training provider. 3.2 Deciding on your NQF Level Before proceeding to the next two chapters however, you need to first establish where you are in terms of the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) levels. The NQF Levels were developed by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA), and are primarily targeted at people that have acquired or want to acquire recognition though work experience, with perhaps some formal training. Nevertheless, the system applies to all people, because whether you have obtained a formal qualification or not, at some stage you will move into the work environment, and if you want to further your career, there are many ways of doing this without necessarily going back to school or university. So, if you are still studying, you need to know what NQF Level you will be at when to graduate from your current qualification, and if you are employed or unemployed, you need to know what level you are currently at. Use the following table to determine your NQF Level. Table 1: Cross Reference between NQF Levels and Academic Qualifications NQF LEVEL 8 to BAND HIGHER EDUCATION AND TRAINING QUALIFICATION TYPE Post-doctoral research degrees Doctorates Masters degrees Professional Qualifications Honours degrees National first degrees Higher diplomas National diplomas National certificates FURTHER EDUCATION AND TRAINING CERTIFICATE 4 FURTHER Grade 12 (Matric), National certificates 3 EDUCATION AND Grade 11, National certificates 2 TRAINING Grade 10, National certificates 1 GENERAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING CERTIFICATED GENERAL Grade 9 ABET Level 4 EDUCATION AND TRAINING National certificates 3.3 Types of Learning Programmes When you identify potential occupations, as will be explained below, you will also need to look at suggested learning programmes that you may need to do in order to achieve the requirements for the occupation. In brief, Table 2 below, which you may have to refer back to later on, provides an overview of these different types of learning programmes. For more detail regarding these different learning programmes, please also refer to Chapter 6 on page 27. Page 4 Isett Seta Career Guide, 2010, Version 1.1

9 Table 2: Brief Description of the Types of Learning Programmes Types of Learning Description Programme Generic Diplomas, Theoretical knowledge provided by an institutional provider Degrees, and Internship Learnerships, Apprenticeships Skills Programmes Short Courses A workplace or practical component is required in addition to a general theoretical knowledge based qualification (institutional provider) in order to obtain registration as a professional or licensed to practise An occupationally directed programme resulting in a registered qualification and that requires an agreement and/or contract An occupationally directed programme, registered by a Seta, which is presented by an accredited provider and when completed will constitute a credit towards an NQF registered qualification Any learning or development programme that may or may not lead to credits towards an NQF registered qualification Learning Site Classroom based, i.e. school or university, as well as private institutions of learning A compulsory or statutory workplace component of a qualification Mainly workplace based but includes classroom learning Workplace and classroom Classroom or simulated or classroom and simulated 3.4 Finding Available Occupations and Skills Development Opportunities Now that you have identified your NQF Level, the information below will point you to the correct section below that will enable you to determine the occupations available to you. If you are: A person with Experience but no Related Formal Qualification, go to Section 3.5 on page 5 below. A learner still at High School or University, go to Section 3.6 on page 6 below. A graduate, go to Section 3.7 on page 7 below. An employee looking for a new occupation, go to Section 3.8 on page 8 below. An employee wanting to advance your current skills, go to Section 3.9 on page 8 below. An unemployed person, go to Section 3.10 on page 9 below. 3.5 Available Occupations for Persons with Experience but no Related Formal Qualification If you do not have a formal qualification but you feel that you already have extensive experience in a particular occupation and are finding it difficult to progress your skills development, you can follow the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) path (see Section 6.6 for further information). In this instance, you would identify which qualification best suits your experience, then you would be assessed by a registered RPL assessor or subject matter expert, according to the requirements of the qualification. This will identify where there are gaps in your experience, which you can address through credit-bearing skills programmes in order to acquire the qualification. Also consider the occupations that may be available to you once you have achieved your qualification. To find the available occupations, go to Table 4 on page 10, then scan down the NQF Level column until you find the level you will be at once you have achieved your current qualification. In the Occupation Title column, you will find all the occupations identified within the Isett Sector that are available or anticipated to become available before end-march 2012, as presented in the last column. Isett Seta Career Guide, 2010, Version 1.1 Page 5

10 Also look at the Suggested Learning Programme column in Table 4 (refer to Table 2 on page 5 for an explanation of the learning programmes). This will provide you with an indication of what additional learning you may require to obtain this occupation. If you are looking at moving into employment rather than first conducting the Suggested Learning Programme, employers may be willing to cover the cost of this additional training. This may require you having to work for the organisation for a certain period of time, so that the company can gain benefit from your learning, but if you leave the company before this period of time expires, you are likely to have to pay the costs of this learning back to the company. If another prospective employer wants to employ you, the prospective employer can cover this cost if they want your services. For further assistance from the Isett Seta, please also note Section Available Occupations for Learners still at High School or University As a learner still studying at an academic institution, you will be interested in what types of occupations will be available to you once you have achieved your current qualification. To find the available occupations, go to Table 4 on page 10, then scan down the NQF Level column until you find the level you will be at once you have achieved your current qualification. In the Occupation Title column, you will find all the occupations identified within the Isett Sector that are available or anticipated to become available before end- March 2012, as presented in the last column. Also look at the Suggested Learning Programme column in Table 4 (refer to Table 2 on page 5 for an explanation of the learning programmes). This will provide you with an indication of what additional learning you may require to obtain this occupation. If you are looking at moving into employment rather than first conducting the Suggested Learning Programme, employers may be willing to cover the cost of this additional training. This may require you having to work for the organisation for a certain period of time, so that the company can gain benefit from your learning, but if you leave the company before this period of time expires, you are likely to have to pay the costs of this learning back to the company. If another prospective employer wants to employ you, the prospective employer can cover this cost if they want your services. As an example, if you will shortly be obtaining your Matric qualification (Grade 12, NQF Level 4 as per Table 1 on page 4 above), scan down the left column of Table 4 on page 10 until you see Level 4. On leaving school with your Matric, you could for example become a General Accountant, which is likely to require you to do a short course over and above your Matric, as indicated in the Suggested Learning Programme column in Table 4. Obviously, having some accountancy background from school would be beneficial. However, do not stop just at your NQF Level. Looking at the next one or two NQF Levels higher than the one you are on will provide you with insight as to other current Page 6 Isett Seta Career Guide, 2010, Version 1.1

11 opportunities, as well as how to progress higher in later years. For example, if you are about to obtain your Matric (at NQF Level 4), looking at NQF Level 6 and the Suggested Learning Programmes will provide you with insight on furthering your career, perhaps through university. Also look at the section on top-up skills, presented in Chapter 5, which highlights various skills that Isett stakeholder companies find lacking among their personnel. It is important that, whatever training programme you undertake, these top-up skills are addressed within the training programme. When selecting a training provider, ask them to explain whether and how their programs address the top-up skills required in the occupation. For further assistance from the Isett Seta, please also note Section Available Occupations for Graduates If you are a recent graduate with a learnership qualification or a certificate, diploma or degree, and you now want to move into employment, you will be interested in what types of occupations are likely to be available to you once you have achieved your current qualification. Firstly, you can home straight into looking for an available occupation. Go to Table 4 on page 10, then scan down the NQF Level column until you find the level you are currently at or will be at once qualified. In the Occupation Title column, you will find all the occupations identified within the Isett Sector that are available or anticipated to become available before end-march 2012, as presented in the last column. Also look at the Suggested Learning Programme column in Table 4 (refer to Table 2 on page 5 for an explanation of the learning programmes). This will provide you with an indication of what additional learning you may require to obtain this occupation. If you are looking at moving into employment rather than first conducting the Suggested Learning Programme, employers may be willing to cover the cost of this additional training. This may require you having to work for the organisation for a certain period of time, so that the company can gain benefit from your learning, but if you leave the company before this period of time expires, you are likely to have to pay the costs of this learning back to the company. If another prospective employer wants to employ you, the prospective employer can cover this cost if they want your services. In Chapter 5, Isett stakeholder companies (potential employers) have indicated what skills they feel are critical to the various occupations. These critical skills are skills where these companies feel that additional top-up training and education is required to make their employees more effective contributors to their organisations. Review these top-up skills for your occupation and make sure that you have these skills. If you do not have the stated top-up skills, either obtain them through skills programmes or short courses, or consider the next paragraph. Within the Isett Sector, stakeholder companies have sometimes indicated that it is difficult to employ learners who have just graduated from a tertiary institution, due to the lack of practical experience that the graduate has. While industry would find it beneficial for Isett Seta Career Guide, 2010, Version 1.1 Page 7

12 tertiary institutions to address this, the Isett Sector does have the means of addressing this through the concept of Internships (see Section 6.3 for further information). Hence, another option that may encourage your potential employer to assist you is to suggest that you do an internship (or apprenticeship) at the organisation. The purpose of an internship is to assist you to gain workplace experience and, if required, further training through skills programmes or short courses. Your potential employer can apply to Isett for financial assistance to do this. Request your potential employer to make enquiries with his/her relevant Seta. If this is Isett, refer to Chapter 8 on page 40 for our contact details. For further assistance from the Isett Seta, please also note Section Available Occupations for Employees looking for a new occupation As an employee, you may be interested in what other types of occupations are available to you, or how to progress to a higher occupation above the one you currently hold. To find the available occupations, go to Table 4 on page 10, then scan down the NQF Level column until you find the level that you are at. In the Occupation Title column, you will find all the occupations identified within the Isett Sector that are available or anticipated to become available before end-march 2012, as presented in the last column. Also look at the Suggested Learning Programme column in Table 4 (refer to Table 2 on page 5 for an explanation of the learning programmes). This will provide you with an indication of what additional learning you may require to obtain this occupation. If you apply for an occupation before first conducting the Suggested Learning Programme, employers may be willing to cover the cost of this additional training. This may require you having to work for the organisation for a certain period of time, so that the company can gain benefit from your learning, but if you leave the company before this period of time expires, you are likely to have to pay the costs of this learning back to the company. If another prospective employer wants to employ you, the prospective employer can cover this cost if they want your services. However, do not stop just at your NQF Level. Looking at the next one or two NQF Levels higher than the one you are on will provide you with insight as to other current opportunities, as well as how to progress higher in later years. Chapter 5 of this career guide provides a summary of the skills that Isett stakeholder companies (potential employers) feel are critical to the various occupations. These critical skills are skills where these companies feel that additional top-up training and education is required to make their employees more effective contributors to their organisations. Review these top-up skills for your occupation and make sure that you have these skills. If you do not have the stated top-up skills, either obtain them through skills programmes or short courses. For further assistance from the Isett Seta, please also note Section Opportunities for Employees Wanting to Advance his/her Current Skills Chapter 5 of this career guide provides a summary of the skills that Isett stakeholder companies (potential employers) feel are critical to the various occupations, at the Page 8 Isett Seta Career Guide, 2010, Version 1.1

13 different NQF Levels. These critical skills are skills where these companies feel that additional top-up training and education is required to make their employees more effective contributors to their organisations. Scan down the NQF Level column until you find the level you are currently at, then find the occupation title closest to your occupation. Review the top-up skills for this occupation and make sure that you have these skills. If you do not have the stated top-up skills, either obtain them through skills programmes or short courses. For further assistance from the Isett Seta, please also note Section Opportunities for Unemployed Persons As a learner still studying at an academic institution, you will be interested in what types of occupations will be available to you once you have achieved your current qualification. Also, as an unemployed person, you will be interested in what types of occupations are currently available to you. To find the available occupations, go to Table 4 on page 10, then scan down the NQF Level column until you find the level you will be at once you have achieved your current qualification.

A Learnership is a work based route to a qualification. It is a work-place education and training programme comprising of both structured practical workplace (on-the-job) Isett Seta Career Guide, 2010, Version 1.1 Page 27

32 experience and structured theoretical training. The duration of a Learnership is approximately twelve months, and results in a full qualification. Learnerships are important because: Success is measured in terms of actual skills that the learner acquires. A Learner is taught why and how things are done and must understand the theory that supports the practice. Learnerships help people to improve basic literacy and numeracy. The learner is assessed at various stages to see if he/she is progressing and is able to perform the tasks for which they are being trained. The NQF qualification is nationally recognised. The benefits for the learner include: A nationally recognised qualification. Practical workplace experience for learners. Recognition of past experience and knowledge obtained by the learner formally or informally through the process of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). Exposure to actual job environment. Serves as an entry point for young people into industry/employment. Provides a route to employment / self-employment. The benefits for the employer include: 1. Workforce. Appropriately skilled employment pool to draw from, increased productivity because of a skilled & competitive workforce. 2. Learnership Grant Payment. The Isett Seta estimates the cost of a Learnership to be R 25,000. The Isett Seta will contribute an amount of R 12,500 per learner towards the Learnership Grant for the duration of the Learnership. For unemployed (18.2) Learners, the Isett Seta contributes about R 25,000 per Learner, including allowance. The grant payment is as follows: 30% on registration of a Learnership agreement. 20% after the first quarter, subject to submission of the first quarter (progress) report and a site visit by Seta staff. 20% after the second quarter, subject to submission of the second progress report and a site visit by Seta staff. 30% on completion of the Learnership and on submission of a final report. 3. Tax Incentive. Following the registration of the Learnership agreements with the Isett Seta, the employer is eligible for a tax incentive from SARS. There are two tax incentives, one at the beginning of the Learnership, and one on successful completion of the Learnership. At the beginning of the Learnership: Learners already employed by the organisation - 18(1): Once the employer has entered into a Learnership agreement with a learner and has registered the agreement with the Isett Seta, the employer may deduct 70% of the annual wages paid to that learner up to a maximum of R 25,000 tax rebate during the relevant year of assessment. Page 28 Isett Seta Career Guide, 2010, Version 1.1

33 Unemployed Learners - 18(2): Once the organisation has entered into a Learnership agreement with a learner and has registered the agreement with the Isett Seta, the organisation may deduct 100% of the Learnership allowance paid to an unemployed Learner (18.2) up to maximum of R 30,000 tax rebate during the relevant year of assessment. Disabled Learners - 18(2): Once the organisation has entered into a Learnership agreement with a disabled learner and has registered a Learnership agreement, then the organisation qualifies for a grant payment of up to a maximum of R 50,000 tax rebate during the relevant year of assessment. On completion of the Learnership: The employer can claim up to 100% of the annual wage paid to an employee (18.1) of up to a maximum of R 25,000, or 100% of the allowance paid to an unemployed Learner (18.2) of up to a maximum of R 30,000, or 100% of the allowance paid to a Disabled Learner of up to a maximum of R 50,000 tax rebate during the relevant year of assessment. For further details of the tax incentive please consult the SARS website: (Select first Legislation, then Acts, then Act No 30 of 2002.) Claiming company tax rebate: 1. The claim is made on SARS forms IT 180. Visit click on All Forms ; scroll down to IT You claim twice in the Tax Year in which the Learnership begins and in the Tax Year in which the Learnership is completed. 3. The 9-digit L number is shown on your monthly EMP 201 form (PAYE/SDL/UIF return). 4. The name of the Seta is the Isett Seta. 5. As noted above, you claim the annual equivalent of the learner s remuneration in the year in which the Learnership begins and the annual equivalent of the learner s remuneration in the year in which the Learnership is completed. NB. A separate IT180 form must be submitted for each learner for the year of commencement and the year of completion of the Learnership. 6. Note that this tax rebate is applicable to all Learnerships entered into from 1 October If a learner leaves a learnership within the first two months of the learnership, this learner can be replaced by another learner. If the organisation has already claimed for the first learner, this organisation can still claim for the replacement learner in the second term Who participates in a Learnership A Learnership involves three main parties: The learner The training provider The employer Isett Seta Career Guide, 2010, Version 1.1 Page 29

34 If unemployed, the learner enters into a Temporary Employment Contract with the employer for an agreed period for the duration of the Learnership. If employed, the existing employment contract, and normal company policies apply. The employer pays for the training of the Learner. An accredited training provider is appointed for the structured theoretical learning. A Learnership Agreement is entered into between the Learner, Employer and Training Provider for the duration of the Learnership (referred to as a Tri-partite agreement). The agreement outlines the rights and responsibilities of each party. The agreement is lodged with the Seta, which assures the quality of the learnership program. Should there be any disputes as to whether one of the parties is fulfilling their responsibilities; an appeal can be made to the Seta. If the learner is still a minor, the parent or legal guardian signs the agreement on behalf of the Learner. The Isett Seta formally registers all Learnership agreements so that a register of learner credits can be maintained. A Mentor/Coach monitors the learner s progress at the workplace whilst a registered assessor evaluates the progress. Unemployed Learners receive a monthly allowance as laid down by the Basic Conditions of Employment of the Department of Labour. Also refer to the Sectoral Determination No. 5, Skills Development Act and associated regulations, on the Department of Labour website, Employed Learners remain on the Terms and Conditions of their Employment Contract. There are two distinct components to a Learnership - theoretical and experiential. Learnerships can be performed at several different levels on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF), with Level 1 being Adult Basic Education and Level 8 equivalent to a masters or doctorate degree. Learners on Learnerships receive credits for every unit standard completed successfully. Learnerships are appropriate for people across the board Registered Learnerships The Isett Seta currently has 14 Learnerships registered with the Department of Labour, and linked to certain South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) qualifications. These are: No Learnership Title NQF Level SAQA ID DoL Registration No. 1 Systems Development (Commerce Development) Q Systems Development (Fourth Generation Q Language Programming) 3 GUI-Based Applications for End-User Computing Q Masters in Information Engineering Q Systems Development (Multi-Media Development) Q Systems Development (Object Oriented Programming) Q Page 30 Isett Seta Career Guide, 2010, Version 1.1

The full list of registered Learnerships across all Setas is available from then look for Registered learnerships by SETAs. Note that any suitably qualified person within any Seta Sector can do any Learnership of any other Seta. In order to do a Learnership that is administered by a Seta in some other sector, the applicant must first work through the Seta to which their organisation belongs. Hence, while the Learnerships stated in the table above are administered by Isett, these Learnerships being very ICT oriented, a learner can still obtain, for example, a contact centre, project management, retail and marketing qualification or any other learnership registered by another Seta, through a Learnership that has been developed by another Seta Who can apply for a Learnership Only employers can apply for Learnerships to be implemented. Individuals cannot apply. Individuals can only become involved through an employer. The employer must be a registered Isett Seta stakeholder member, and have the capability to provide the structured workplace experiential learning. The employer must also be able to mentor and perform skills transfer, and the training provider must also be accredited by a Seta or any other accrediting body. If already accredited, the training provider must submit confirmation of accreditation. The training provider must also be prepared to go through the programme approval process How to apply for a Learnership The employer must: Identify a need for a learner or potential learner who needs to be further developed within the employer s organisation or workplace, with the objective of the person obtaining an NQF qualification. Isett Seta Career Guide, 2010, Version 1.1 Page 31

36 Submit a proposal for discretionary funding to the Isett Seta indicating intent to implement a Learnership, preferably through the WSP or via submission of a Letter of Intent from identified NGOs and SMEs. If the objectives of the intended Learnership support Isett s objectives, the Isett Seta and the employer sign a Service Level Agreement (SLA). The employer identifies an accredited training provider who can provide the theoretical component. The employer, the learner and the training provider sign a Tri-partite agreement. This agreement is legally binding, and in the case of unemployed (18.2) learners, a fixed term/temporary employment contract is also signed for the duration of the Learnership. The Learnership programme is then implemented, and the Isett Seta will monitor the implementation and evaluate the impact of the program. The Learner must: Plan the career path he/she wishes to follow. Identify the Seta where this job is accommodated. Find out if there is a need for the particular job. Enquire about the applicable criteria to enter the Learnership. Read and find out as much as possible on Learnerships. If unemployed, register with the Department of Labour/ Learner Support Services. Submit enquiries to relevant Seta. 6.3 Internships What is an Internship? An Internship is a programme designed to give university graduates an opportunity to extend their academic qualifications with structured workplace exposure and specialised training. Participants are placed on a full-time basis for a period of eight to twelve months in stakeholder companies and government organisations, the purpose of which is to provide the learner with workplace experience that builds on the qualification. Isett utilises the concept of Internships to fast track high level skills, to offer needed work experience to unemployed graduates and to empower graduates with practical knowledge commensurate with their qualification. In summary, an Internship focuses on practical training, the employer determines the duration and content of the Internship, so it can vary greatly, and the specific outcomes Page 32 Isett Seta Career Guide, 2010, Version 1.1

37 are not defined or regulated as in the case of Learnerships. Internships are ideal for graduates or those with tertiary qualifications but lack experience. The primary benefit for the graduate learner includes obtaining "real world" workplace experience. The benefits for the employer include: 1. Workforce. Appropriately skilled employment pool to draw from, increased productivity because of a skilled & competitive workforce. 2. Internship Grant Payment. The Isett Seta, in partnership with employers, will contribute R 22,500 per learner for unemployed learners and R 10,000 per learner for employed learners, for the duration of the internship, regardless of the total costs of the project. The grant payment is as follows: 30% on registration of an Internship agreement. 20% after the first quarter, subject to submission of the first report and site visit by Seta staff. 20% after the second quarter, subject to submission of the second progress report site visit by Seta staff. 30% on completion of an Internship and on submission of a final report and fact file. Note that there is no business tax incentive for Internship programmes Who participates in an Internship Either employed or unemployed persons can get involved in an Internship, but the Isett Seta focuses on unemployed graduates. For employed persons, please review the section on Skills Programmes, Section 6.4. The Internship usually involves just the learner, who is a potential employee to a company, and the potential employer. Taking note of the learner s level of education, capabilities and experience, the employer defines the workplace programme that must be completed for the learner to obtain the required skills for the work to be performed within the company. This workplace programme is reviewed with the learner, and both parties agree to the final programme. There may be instances where the learner has to undergo some additional specialised training. In this case, the training provider could become a third party to the internship agreement. On completion of the Internship, the intern will receive a Certificate of Recognition Who can apply for an Internship The employer applies for an Internship. Learners can only participate on Internships through employers How to apply for an Internship The employer must: Isett Seta Career Guide, 2010, Version 1.1 Page 33

38 Identify critical skills required by potential employees who have just graduated with a certificate, diploma or degree. Submit a proposal for discretionary funding to the Isett Seta indicating intent to implement an Internship, preferably through the WSP or via submission of a Letter of Intent from identified NGOs and SMEs. If the objectives of the intended Internship support Isett s objectives, the Isett Seta and the employer sign a Service Level Agreement. As part of the agreement, the employer must submit a roll-out project plan. The employer and the learner(s) sign the Internship Agreement. This agreement is legally binding, and is a fixed term contract for an eight to twelve month period. The Internship programme is then implemented, and the Isett Seta will monitor the implementation and evaluate the impact of the program. 6.4 Skills Programmes What is a Skills Programme? A Skills Programme is conducted against registered Unit Standards at an Accredited Training Institution, and the training programme must include a workplace component. The accumulation of credit-bearing Skills Programmes may lead to or contribute towards a full qualification. There is no tax benefit associated with Skills Programmes Who participates in a Skills Programme A Skills Programme involves three main parties: The learner The training provider The employer The employer pays for the training of the Learner. An accredited training provider is appointed for the structured theoretical learning. A Skills Programme Agreement is entered into between the Learner, Employer and Training Provider for the duration of the Skills Programme. Skills Programmes can be performed at several different levels on National Qualifications Framework (NQF) with Level 1 being Adult Basic Education and Level 8 equivalent to a masters or doctorate degree. Learners on Skills Programmes receive credits for every unit standard completed successfully. Page 34 Isett Seta Career Guide, 2010, Version 1.1

39 Skills Programmes are appropriate for people who have a shortage of critical skills or for the lack of having obtained a full qualification Who can apply for a Skills Programme Only employers can apply for Skills Programmes to be implemented. Individuals cannot apply. Individuals can only become involved through an employer. The employer must be a registered Isett Seta stakeholder member, and have the capability to provide the structured workplace experiential learning. The employer must also have a willingness to mentor and perform skills transfer, and must be accredited by the Isett Seta or any other accrediting body. If already accredited, the employer must submit confirmation of accreditation. The employer must also be prepared to go through the programme approval process How to apply for a Skills Programme The employer must: Identify a need for a learner or potential learner who needs to be further developed within the employer s organisation or workplace. Submit a proposal for discretionary funding to the Isett Seta indicating intent to implement a skills programme, preferably through the WSP or via submission of a Letter of Intent from identified NGOs and SMEs. If the objectives of the intended Skills Programme support Isett s objectives, the Isett Seta and the employer sign a service level agreement. The employer identifies a training provider who can provide the theoretical component, and the employer, the learner and the training provider. The employer also signs a Service Level Agreement with Isett. The Skills Programme is then implemented, and the Isett Seta will evaluate the impact of the program. The Learner must: Identify the critical skills he/she needs in their work environment. Identify the critical skills he/she needs if they wish to obtain an NQF qualification and require additional skills. Identify the Seta where these skills programmes are registered. Enquire about the applicable criteria to enter the Skills Programme. Read and find out as much as possible on Skills Programmes. Submit enquiries to relevant Seta. 6.5 Short Courses What is a Short Course? Short Courses have no workplace training component and may or may not include training that is NQF aligned. Training providers must endeavour to align their short courses with the NQF. Isett Seta Career Guide, 2010, Version 1.1 Page 35
