How to use ABET recruitment tools

Steve — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 14:00:16 +0000

Without the assistance of volunteers to act as facilitators in the Adult Basic Education and Training programme, the project would be a resounding failure. Volunteers are required on an ongoing basis around the country to work from learning centres or provide services at business premises. Candidates require matric certification or some other form of higher learning degree or diploma and will receive the necessary training to enable them to fulfil the role of a facilitator. Finding the right candidates can be tedious without the use of ABET recruitment tools. Flyers and other media are available for download via the internet. The best recruitment tool is however word of mouth and students as well as existing facilitators can be roped in to spread the word regarding the need for volunteers in an area.

Although it is imperative to provide a means of educating illiterate people in South Africa, it is also important to improve reading skills. A higher level of reading and understanding literacy materials is necessary for individuals to access further development and higher learning facilities. Further education and training facilities will not accept learners or students who only have basic reading and writing skills as they will not able to follow the course material. Learning at a higher level requires a student to be able to absorb knowledge on their own as well as interpret the subject matter with only the assistance of a lecturer.

Steve — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 13:56:46 +0000

Life skills were never taught to students learning through the South African education system leaving many school leavers without the tools necessary to cope in the real world. Life skills training is now provided at a primary and secondary school level but does not address the millions of people who did not receive this education in the past. The Adult Basic Education and Training programme aims to provide adults of all ages with the skills necessary to enable them to become better functioning members of society. The course focuses on teaching financial lifeskill, health and safety as well as the other basic educational needs of an individual.

ABET and the management of projects

Steve — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 13:56:09 +0000

Management of projects is normally left up to upper management or the executives within a company. Having employees who understand the basics of project management can help the project run more efficiently. A person who understands the need for deadlines and can be incentivised to meet them is more likely to work well within the time framework. A knowledge of budgeting and the costs related to a project can also create an awareness amongst employees of the need to work efficiently. Most people do not have these skills and can benefit from a basic project management course such as that offered by the Adult Basic Education and Training programme.

Why take mathematical classes?

Steve — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 13:55:00 +0000

Mathematical classes are not the most favourite amongst learners and students at education institutions. However, most of us take it for granted that we are able to count and perform basic calculations without the use of a calculator. We need these skills to fulfil certain simple tasks in society such as purchasing items. Some people in South Africa do not have these maths skills and are in dire need of education and training. But before a person can learn to count and calculate, they must also be able to read and write. The Adult Basic Education and Training programme that was rolled out by government in association with SETA’s aims to eliminate the problem of illiteracy and the lack of mathematical skills in the country.

Financial lifeskills for self actualisation

Steve — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 13:54:23 +0000

Levels 1 to 4 of the Adult Basic Education and Training programme aim to provide learners with basic education in reading writing and maths. These levels also place emphasis on teaching financial lifeskills to individuals to assist them in managing their personal finances better. This includes providing them with information of how the banking sector operates from opening a bank account to understanding interest and bank charges that are deducted once an account has been opened. A learner will also gain skills that will help them budget on a monthly basis so that they live well within their means and give them information on how to plan financially for the future.

Steve — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 13:53:42 +0000

Project management is the process of applying practical skills to budgeting, costing and other factors that need to be taken into account in the planning stages of any project. These skills are normally taught at a higher education level such as and MBA or other post-graduate course. The Adult Basic Education and Training programme however aims to provide these management skills at a more basic level to a greater number of people. ABET is a leader in this field and can offer other basic education and skills development and training. Value added courses such as HIV and business communication are also available form ABET facilitators.
