TRIPLE E TRAINING HOLDINGS

We take many life skills for granted, but often forget that many communities never had any exposure to life skills training before. One of the adult life skills training programs is that of HIV/AIDS training presented at workplaces around the country. By giving workers the knowledge to help them deal with HIV/AIDS infections, living with it, understanding how it is transmitted or not transmitted and what can be done, will help them to avoid contraction, live with it when already contracted, provide support to colleagues and friends who have contracted HIV/AIDS, and will help to make the workplace safer whilst also more worker friendly. The workers spend most of their days at work where a lot of interaction with other workers takes place and where injuries can be sustained. It is essential that you give them the knowledge required to deal with such situations effectively by enrolling them in adult life skills training programs such as the ones presented by Triple e.

It is wrong to assume that all South Africans have mastered the language of English. The opposite is true. Many thousands of South African workers cannot speak English or can do so only basically. They cannot read or write in the language, not even to write about written communication fit for business communication. With English being the medium of communication to bridge language barriers in the country, it is important to give your workers the required English skills b y letting Triple e with years of experience in education teach English in a fun and understandable way to your workers. Upon completion of each level they will receive a nationally recognized qualification which will boost their confidence and help them to function optimally in the workplace.

Our adult learning programs are a notch above the rest because we tackle obstacles to adult learning head on. We for instance, schedule the adult learning programs at the workplace, making it possible for the workers to attend without having to take additional transport to get to the place of learning. We also schedule the adult learning programs around the shifts of the workers to minimize the effect on productivity whilst also taking their need to be with their families into consideration. The goals are connected to what the attendees learn. Applicable knowledge is provided that ensures that workers can see the benefit of the adult learning programs immediately. Learners progress at their own level and thus don’t compete against others

HIV/AIDS is not a disease that can be separated from the work area. Workers spend most of their days at work and interact with people at work. HIV awareness training at work is important because it helps to clear up misunderstandings about the disease and prevents discrimination against co-workers who have contracted HIV/AIDS. It also helps to address fears about the issue, address false perceptions, and creates a positive work environment. The workers also learn what to avoid and how to react should there be an injury at work with the risk of becoming infected. Contact us to help you start HIV awareness training at work.

EDTP ensures quality education in South Africa. Genuine educational equity requires that students in primary and high schools study with teachers who educate by example as well as direct instruction; students long for teachers who look and sound like them, who understand their cultural norms, and can lead them to higher education and into the corridors of power. Ideally, ethnic, linguistic, and socio-cultural diversity in the educational community would mirror the nations.,but achievement of that ideal depends upon assuring disadvantaged youth and adults access to teaching positions through non-traditional career paths.
In South Africa, teaching certification requires a Bachelor’s Degree and a year of pre-service training beyond college graduation, but the Education, Training, and Development Practices sector employs para-professionals, early childhood educators, industrial training specialists, and other professionals who conduct the serious business of education outside traditional schoolrooms. ETDP SETA assures these workers meaningful training and access to diverse routes for professional advancement.

Traditional educators always understood the notion of learning for its own sake as one of their vocation’s guiding principles. One learns a language or logical system because it stimulates the mind, they thought. Measurements of intellectual development prevailed. However, from the beginning, architects of South Africa’s sophisticated worker education classes program insisted growth rates and numerical indices of students’ achievement never would document the effectiveness of or prove the value of their instruction and activities. Workers and their employers had to see meaningful results. If a skill did not contribute to work, or if an alumnus of worker education could not apply a skill at work, the whole enterprise was worthless. Workers and managers demanded performance prove instruction’s effectiveness. All the collaborators in the nation’s system of worker education classesagreed, “The immediate value of the training program must be observable.” A principle so patently clear to businessmen revolutionized worker education classes.

Although disadvantaged students recognize the theoretical value of education, they enroll in adult basic education to advance in their jobs. They want to earn better wages, secure a better standard of living for themselves and their families, and gain some measure of power and prestige among their colleagues. Language and mathematics skills which immediately transfer from school to work help workers to learn. When they capitalize on familiar workplace situations, instructors help workers to learn English and math skills that yield immediate benefits. The architects of twenty-first century adult education agreed with their business and corporate partners that the focus must be on outcome based education. Businessmen need to see workers applying their new skills at work. Workers need to see those outcomes, too. When skills and advancement reinforce one another, motivation and engagement help workers to learn.

In the 1970s, when South African workers first organized to demand better wages and working conditions, they also demanded training in language and mathematics skills that would secure their places in the workforce. Through the eighties and early nineties, as South Africa evolved, adult education evolved with it. Workers, businessmen, politicians, and change agents agreed on the value of education. Education, especially adult education, was then and remains now essential to the success of South Africa’s unique experiment in multi-cultural democracy.
The National Qualifying Framework proves the nation’s esteem for the value of education. The NQF establishes clear learning pathways; and the pathways lead not only to skills and knowledge, but also to advancement up the career ladder and upward social mobility. Skilled workers and dedicated craftsmen, the solid core of every successful democracy, always have understood the value of education in a young nation’s development.

Meaningful conversation between workers and managers benefits confidence, efficiency, productivity while promoting trust and respect. When workplace “culture” thrives on the strength of shared values and effective communication, earnings and profits dramatically increase. On the other hand, when workers feel separated from their work and their leaders, both the work and the bottom line suffer. When workers enroll in and complete adult education classes, they build literacy and numeracy skills, which allow them to “own” their work. Understanding procedures and processes, anticipating steps in completing a task, workers invest in the quality of their work. Adult education classes build workers’ command of spoken and written English so that they communicate more efficiently and effectively with their managers. Adult education classes develop workers’ math and problem solving skills so that they require less guidance.

Managers sometimes talk about “getting everyone on the same page.” Adult education classes do that—literally.

History very clearly shows, in all the world’s industrialized nations as workers become better educated, they enjoy upward social mobility. Education always has been the tool for rising above poverty, disease, and misery. A family’s value for continuing education inspires the children to continue in school all the way through university. As each generation of a family becomes better educated, the whole family advances together.

Workers enrolled in adult education move up in the workplace while setting very powerful examples for their families. As adult education builds their skill with English, mathematics, and money management, workers advance on the job and they are able to provide well for their families. Simply as a realistic matter, a worker who speaks and reads English, who calculates quickly and accurately, and who understands the company’s values and expectations is far more valuable to the company than the worker who simply shows up and just does his job.
