Even if you can count, know what formulas do and how to divide, the knowledge is still worth nothing unless you can apply it in real life situations. Fractions are used when having to calculate recipe ingredients, in agriculture and even in time estimates. Mathematical training will take the skills already present and build upon that to ensure that employees can apply their knowledge of measurements, currencies, fractions, graphs and more in real life situations to determine distances, percentages, time allocation requirements, and more. Give your employees the skills they need to ensure the success of your business by letting them attend the Mathematical training courses as presented by Triple e.

The first step to a better workplace and improved community awareness is to develop an HIV and Aids Awareness Campaign in the workplace which addresses the main areas such as open communication, understanding of how it is transmitted, and how to prevent transmission. The HIV and Aids Awareness Campaign should include condom distribution, wellness programs for employees affected by HIV/AIDS, as well as the testing for HIV/AIDS on a voluntary basis. In addition the HIV and Aids Awareness Campaign should be open and provide counseling opportunities in addition to social support to infected workers. Medication where required should be provided.

Budgeting, writing a cheque, signing for a debit order, opening a clothing account, creating a simple cash flow chart or working with currencies are all part of basic financial life skills. Even though literate people take financial life skills for granted, there are thousands of people that are limited in their potential simply because they lack the basic financial life skills taught at school level. Knowing how to read a bank statement, grocery slip, calculating costs and change are all part of Financial Life Skills Training. Help South Africans to become informed citizens who have the required financial life skills to survive in today’s society, by enrolling your employees in a financial life skills training program available from Triple e.

Custom Materials Development plays a vital role in catering to the learning needs of course attendees. As part of custom materials development for the various ABET programs language courses in all eleven official languages are available. Although most of the course material is written in English because publishers fear tremendous financial losses if the courses were to be published in African languages, skills development in English ensures that learners can understand the course material. Custom Materials Development policies are in place to ensure workbooks, writing materials and papers in print to ensure that the majority of learners can have access to the education. There is however also some course material in digital format.

There may be employees that will be reluctant to join an Adult Basic Education program at your workplace. The secret to a positive attitude lies in the way you communicate training steps and benefits with the employees.

Secondly communicate training benefits in terms of possible promotions, job security and increases in salaries. Thirdly communicate training requirements of the company and what will be expected from the attendees when they attend the courses. Get them to be positive and you will have quick learners.
