TRIPLE E TRAINING HOLDINGS

Most employment in South Africa requires that you have a good command of the English language. English is the language that is used in conducting business around the world and a person who cannot speak English is at a disadvantage. However, just reading the language may not be enough to secure you a position in the job market. You need to be able to speak the language correctly as well as read and write in English. You can improve your English reading and writing skills by enrolling in and Adult Basic Education and Training programme. This programme will also give you access to learning other skills that will be useful in the workplace.

The Abet-Theta programme was launched to provide employees in the tourism and hospitality sector with improved skills to better enable them to provide services within the industry. The project offers grants to any employer that offers this specific adult basic training and education course to their employees and is aimed at improving communication skills in English as well as other languages. It is hoped that the programme will have a role over affect in that these learners can pass on their knowledge to other educationally disadvantaged people within their communities which will enable them to enter the job market. Each learner will receive a certification upon completion of the course that is backed by Umalusi to ensure that it meets the necessary education standards.

There are far too many people in South Africa who do not have basic education skills such as reading or writing. These people also normally do not have the means to improve their status as they do not have access to education facilities or do not have the available funds to pay for education. It is thus imperative that every business in South Africa get involved in educating their workforce at the most basic levels. A better skilled workforce will not only help improve the bottom line of your company but according to statistics, the overall economy of the country will improve.

The numbers of Adult Basic Education and Training centres in South Africa are expanding at a rapid rate. This is due not only to the high amount of illiterate or uneducated people in South Africa but also to the growing realisation of how important education is by individuals and big business alike. It is imperative that every person in South Africa be educated or become involved in the education of a fellow countryman. Although the illiteracy rate is steadily declining, it is fact that our education system is failing many new learners and that they may one day need the support of an Adult Education and Training Programme. Make sure that you are doing your bit to make South Africa and all its’ people achieve the best potential that they are able to.

With disastrous decline in the matric pass rate, education must become the focus of all South Africans. Many children do not take education seriously because their parents are uneducated and cannot pass on the importance of education to their children. It is thus important that big business become involved in Adult Basic Education and Training and ensure that their workforce is educated. If big business does not get involved in any way possible, they may find themselves in a position where they are forced to train an unskilled person to perform a function that previously was deemed a simple task. Invest in your work force and their futures to make sure that your company has a future.

Are you interested in helping people to achieve the best that they can in life? Consider becoming a qualified Adult Basic Education and Training (ABET) facilitator. The ABET course is an accelerated learning programme that is offered to any person who has little to no education or has not achieved the matric certification. The programme begins at grade one for individuals who can not yet read or write and continues all the way through to the grade twelve level for people who have some education. It can be a very rewarding feeling helping some one who is unable to read and write achieve their best potential and become a fully educated member of society.

There are over 3 million people in South Africa who do not have basic education and are illiterate. The Adult Basic Education and Training programme was established to assist such individuals in learning to read and write and achieve basic literacy and numeracy skills. Our entire society is based on the ability to read and write and individuals who lack these skills can find it difficult to interact in the world. Such individuals are forced to take basic unskilled employment and will more often than not earn only a basic wage. However it is easy to remedy this situation with accelerated learning courses to help every adult in South Africa achieve their full potential.

ABET is changing the face of South Africa. Business everywhere is retaining the services of ABET accredited service providers and workers across the country are enrolling in ABET courses in greater numbers than ever before. The popularity of ABET courses are due in part to the fact that they offer business a flexible manner to further the education of their workforces. The flexi time approach to education means that the day to day running of the business is minimally affected by the courses, which are often offered on site, making them even more attractive to big business. ABET has also been shown to increase staff loyalty and increase productivity.

If South Africa is to be successful on the world stage then it is essential that the country has an educated workforce. Without this it will always remain a mix between a first world country and a third world country. It will remain uncompetitive and eventually be overtaken by other developing nations. The cooperation between government and the private sector in the rolling out of adult basic education and training initiatives is aimed at educating the South African workforce so that it can compete on a level stage with the best in the world and so take its rightful place in the community of nations.

The advancement of staff in terms of education or in terms of fighting illiteracy has a positive effect on staff morale and has been shown in numerous studies to increase staff loyalty. Nowhere is this more true than when staff are exposed to training in ABET fundamentals. This foundation phase of ABET training will give employees who have been functionally illiterate the tools to ensure that they can both better their lives and become more productive members of the workforce as well as contributing more to their communities and the greater south African society and propelling South Africa into a more prosperous future.
