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.

Triple e provides well structured English classes for adults in the workplace. Every class is structured to meet the specific learning needs of the attendees and upon completion of the specific levels the attendees will do either an assessment or a POE. Once they have passed the level they receive their NQF for that level. Pre-assessments are made of the learning skills, comprehension of the language, and previous education before enrolling a learner in one of the English classes – ensuring targeted education that is fun, motivational and highly effective. The English classes for adults are presented at the workplace, making it possible for more workers to attend and thus become skilled in the most used business language of this country.

The Triple e adult mathematics classes are well accepted and loved by course attendees because we have unique way of presenting knowledge which makes the subject understandable, fun, and applicable to the workplace. Our adult mathematics classes are presented on the level of the attendee and as such pre assessments are done to ensure that the adult mathematics classes are presented at a level that the attendee will understand and appreciate. We build upon their existing skills. We also schedule the classes around their shifts and time available. This makes it possible for more workers to attend. Keeping in mind that they don’t have as much time available as school children or students, we offer compact classes which promote fast learning and application of skills attained.

Apart from other African languages such as Tswana and Sotho Triple e also provides Zulu language courses at the workplace. The focus of the Zulu language courses is to provide Afrikaans and English speaking workers the conversational skills they need to communicate effectively with colleagues at the workplace. The Zulu language courses include from the very basics such as greetings and enquiring about well being as well as families to asking for directions, talking about shopping, and applying skills learned at the workplace. The Zulu language courses extend over 32 hours with assessments done of the language skills before commencing with the courses and also thereafter. Improve workplace communication with our Zulu language courses for the workplace.

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.

With the risk of infection always present in the workplace especially at health care centres, it is essential to have an HIV training program in place. The HIV training program should address issues such as the transmission of the disease, preventative measures, how to live with HIV, and how to handle infection. The HIV training should also address myths about infection and help workers as well as their families to cope with infection. Testing for the disease should be done on a voluntary basis and there should also be a counselling program in place. It is a fact of modern life and something that cannot be ignored. Provide the life orientation skills your workers deserve through an effective HIV training program. Contact us today to help set-up an HIV training program at your workplace.

Research with rising users of English proves what common sense always suggested – When students learn English “in a meaningful context,” they learn more quickly and they retain what they learn. English adult classes, which develop students reading and writing skills in the context of their everyday work, show far greater growth and retention than English adult classes taught “in isolation.” The difference lies in motivation and reward. Although a compilation of literature introduces students to masterpieces, they cannot use literary language at work. However, speech, conversation, and texts derived from the workplace have immediate reward—learn it tonight and use it tomorrow. Moving ahead through a series of English adult classes, students work with increasingly complex, sophisticated texts taken from common workplace situations.

Speakers of the ten official South African languages other than English compete at a disadvantage in the workplace because English remains South Africa’s language of power. Learning business English levels the playing field for South African workers who want to advance up the corporate ladder to supervisor and management positions. Neither as complicated nor as simple as old-fashioned British schoolboy English, business English emphasizes simple, direct communication. Business English stresses getting directly to the point and making the point forcefully. It is the language of training manuals, instructions, work lists, and messages; not the language of contracts and legal documents. Business English focuses on clear communication of who does what, how and why. Moreover, developing their command of business English, determined South Africans can rise above their histories of disadvantage to important and powerful positions in their companies.

Managers and supervisors quickly learn the difference between a boss and a leader. A boss demands submission to the authority in his title and he issues compliance with his instructions. Employees working for a boss live in almost constant fear of punishment or termination. Leaders, however, inspire employees’ respect, loyalty, and devotion because they help workers feel pride and ownership in their work. The best leaders understand exactly how they serve their followers.

Some of South Africa’s most effective corporate and professional leaders speak Tswana in the workplace because common language promotes a sense of common cause. When leaders take initiative to learn and speak Tswana in the workplace, they prove their respect for and understanding with their employees. In addition, effective leaders very quickly discover that, when they speak Tswana in the workplace, efficiency and productivity increase while accidents and non-attendance decrease.
