New methods of instruction are required to break down adult numeracy resistance which has developed over years. Previous experiences play a major role in adult numeracy resistance. Negative experiences regarding competency in the subject and the lack of understanding why specific topics are taught are reasons why adult numeracy resistance exist. As such it is important to show the relevancy of what is taught immediately. The information must be applicable to day to day living and their work environments. We also need to recognize that adults have time constraints as they for instance, work 8-10 hours a day, have families to take care off, and have various other responsibilities. The subject must be taught in a manner that will consider time constraints and will proof to be interesting at all times. As such we break down adult numeracy resistance in a fun, but professional manner, empowering the learners to apply their knowledge from day one.

The problem with adult mathematics classes is that people tend to shy away from the subject because they see mathematics as independent from society with loads of measurements, units, algebra and formulas they feel they don’t understand and will never use in practice. The root of the problem lies in the way that adult mathematics classes are perceived. Nothing can be further from the truth when the Triple-e adult mathematics classes are considered. The subject is not lifeless or separated from society, but entails topics relevant to the business world as well as day to day living. The focus is on teaching the learners how to apply their knowledge to their environment instead of giving them information that seems distant from their working and living environments. As such the Triple e adult mathematics classes are fun and presented in a professional manner. The learners will receive certification for each of the NQF levels passed. We have an impressive passing figure brought about by the way that the classes are structured.

Health care workers are most at risk of contracting HIV/AIDS. As such any company whether it is a private clinic, hospital, practice or industry related company needs to inform workers through AIDS awareness programs. Not only topics such as how the virus is contracted or how to prevent contraction should be dealt with, but also how to live with HIV/AIDS and how to deal with family, friends or colleagues who have contracted the virus. It is a fact of modern day society and by ignoring the problem, it will get worse. AIDS awareness programs especially for any worker that takes care of the health of others, should be in place. The problem is that most companies don’t know where to start or how to approach the topic. Triple –e is the ideal company to help you implement AIDS awareness programs in your company. Greater understanding of the problem and fears are addressed in addition to providing important information on how to live and work productively if a person has HIV/AIDS.

AIDS is not a social problem detached from the work environment. People spend the largest part of their day at work. It is also the place where most interaction with people, other than their close friends and family circle takes place. As such AIDS education programs at work are extremely important for the following reasons:

• It facilitates fair management of workers living with AIDS.
• Preventing the spread of HIV.
• Demonstrates the company’s commitment to the well-being of its workers.
• It addresses fears about contraction of the virus.
• Helps co-workers to deal with an HIV/AIDS colleague in the correct manner.
• Helps to clear up myths surrounding the issue.
• Helps an HIV/AIDS positive person to keep self esteem and overcome fears.

People often fear that they will lose their jobs should they be HIV/AIDS positive. When a company thus provides AIDS education programs, it will improve worker motivation and morale because it shows that the company cares. Contact Triple-e for information on the AIDS education programs available.

Once off Aids training programs often fail to address deeper issues. As such it is important to implement ongoing Aids training programs at work, but first start with a full education program. Triple- e can help you with regards to both. The following are issues covered in such education and Aids training programs:

How the disease is transmitted
How STD’s influence HIV
Safe sexual practices
Distribution and information about condoms
Dealing with attitudes, misconceptions etc.
Legal questions
Job security
Rights of women
Living and working with HIV or AIDS

The correct information should be provided in a supportive manner and the Aids training programs at work should be interactive and allow for open discussions whilst keeping in line with sensitivity towards workers who are AIDS or HIV infected or have family members who are sufferers.

Even though it may seem unlikely that you or one of your employees may get infected with the virus, HIV infection prevention training at work may very well save a person’s life. As such Triple-e provide AIDS awareness as part of life skills training and offers HIV infection prevention training as part of our more comprehensive AIDS education programs.

Any person at work that needs to provide first aid to another person should be aware of the possibility of an HIV infection. As such any cuts or bruises should be covered with waterproof plasters and the person should wear latex gloves. If contact is made with blood directly, the area should immediately be washed with hot soapy water. If there are no gloves available, the person can wear plastic bags over the hands and tie them to the wrists with elastic bands. Soiled fabrics must be boiled for at least twenty minutes and then sun dried as well as ironed.

The above are just a few of the HIV infection prevention training aspects that companies should be aware off. There are many more factors to consider and which are dealt with in our AIDS awareness life skills training.

ABET has grown from the goals of church groups, communities and schools to develop Adult Basic Education and Training programs to address the illiteracy and lack of essential numeracy as well as life skills which plague the South African economy. Many of the persons needing ABET are older women in rural areas. The women are informed and have skills to share, but their lack of literacy hinders their ability to contribute to society. Through ABET programs, the women can be taught essential skills which they can apply in community projects such as AIDS awareness programs and at charity organizations where they can help to uplift the poor citizens of the country. Companies often look at areas where they can contribute regarding social responsibility. By enrolling employees and helping to facilitate ABET programs also at rural areas, companies will be give an enormous gift back to society and their workforce.
