TRIPLE E TRAINING HOLDINGS

Proceeds from the opening concert for the FIFA soccer world cup went to opening literacy centres across South Africa and the continent. The high level of illiterate Africans was highlighted during the build-up to the world cup and it was decided that education was one of the best charities to support. These learning centres will be placed in communities where teaching basic literacy is a priority. These centres are not schools and are aimed at educating people of all ages and backgrounds. You can help enable people to read and write by donating money or offering any services that may assist the process.

A company that offers accelerated education and training courses to adult learners may also offer other value-added courses. Your work force can benefit greatly from an HIV/AIDS awareness course regarding the prevention and treatment of the disease. The employee can also learn about financial life skills that will better enable him or her to deal with their finances correctly and not get into debt. It will also assist your employees in what their rights and obligations regarding financial institutions such as banks and credit institutions.

Adult teaching differs from teaching children or even full time students. There is less time and the learners want to see results quickly. It is however, also important to note that once a person enrols out of free will, the learner is generally more positive and eager to learn. As such we encourage employers to explain adult teaching methods with their employees to ensure a positive attitude right from the start. We follow adult teaching methods that inspire, uplift, motivate, and encourage. Our aim is never to break down, but to build on existing skills. As such the attendees enjoy our classes and prefer our way of adult teaching because they can see immediate results. This also benefits the employer that receives the advantages of an education workforce almost immediately.

If an employee doesn’t understand why it is needed to take additional classes or why he or she should for instance, take mathematics classes, attend an HIV awareness program, learn an African language or develop English communication skills, the worker will not be positive. This is dangerous because a reluctant learner may not attend classes, work hard to gain skills, or even decided to not attend at all. You as an employer must motivate employees to learn. Give them the reasons why you provide additional training. Show them the direct benefits such as promotion, ability to use the skills gained also outside the workplace and show them how they will benefit in the workplace. Triple e knows how to motivate employees to learn. We structure our courses to be fun, on the level of the employee and to give immediate results.

Once the manager or supervisor understands the language of the workers and is able to effectively communicate in their language, fewer mistakes and misunderstanding follow. Triple e also provides African language courses to help managers communicate in Zulu, Tswana, Sotho, and Xhosa. A Xhosa manager for instance, will have difficulty to build trust, establish good report with and motivate workers if the manager cannot speak their language. The same applies to a Tswana, English, Sotho, Afrikaans, or Zulu manager. As such you can now bridge the communication gap that exists in the workplace by enrolling the managers in short and effective African language courses through Triple e at your specific workplace.

Adult students quickly learn the “real” value of continuing education. Of course, school provides them with factual knowledge they might not otherwise acquire, but adults tend to forget most of the facts they master in school. The “real” value of education comes from learning how to learn – thus through courses for learning as an adult.

Although most disadvantaged adults dread returning to school, mainly because they fear embarrassment and alienation, they quickly discover learning as an adult differs dramatically from their childhood experience in school. Because adults bring more background knowledge and language skill to their classrooms, learning as an adult is easier than most students expect. Background knowledge eases learning as an adult because adults connect new skills with those they already have. Adults connect their knowledge in ways that children cannot. Adults typically have ten times greater vocabularies than children, which allows them to comprehend and retain new information easier. Learning as an adult through the ABET training programs is fun.

If the same method of instruction that is applied to teach children Mathematics at school is used, it will be more difficult for the adult to learn Maths. As such it is of vital importance that the classes for adults should be focused on skills that they require to function in society and the workplace. They need to see immediate application and results otherwise discouragement will follow. It is for this reason that the ABET courses to help adults learn Maths have been structured to bring immediate results and help the adults to gain numeracy skills which they can use in all areas of their lives. The courses are presented at the workplace or specific venues and once a level is completed the learner can qualify on national level. They thus also gain a qualification empowering them to progress in life and the workplace.

Although online and CD based training exist to help people learn foreign languages, few people have the time, discipline, and will to complete the self study training. Triple-e provides African language courses for beginners at the client’s premises and at scheduled times that suit the client company and its employees. The short African language courses teach the employees basic conversation skills, more advanced skills and communication in the language or languages suited for the workplace. If your company is in the financial sector, it will be important for the employees to communicate in for instance Northern Sotho regarding financial aspects. The same holds true for people working in any industry. Our African language courses are interactive and geared to the improvement of communication in society and the workplace. As such the African language courses are focused on your specific industry.
