New Learner joins ABO Software to start her SETA
Learnership
[Cape Town, October 2005] - Nombuso Makaula started her learnership at ABO
Software on the 3rd October 2005. She joins us as part of a Services SETA
initiative in conjunction with SAPOA. She read about the learnership programme
in the newspaper and decided it was an excellent opportunity to gain experience
in the property industry.
The property industry in South Africa is faced with a number of challenges
including the need for new skills, competitive edge and equity deliverables.
"Transformation in the South African context is fundamental to the wellbeing of
any organisation. However more care must be taken not to window dress for the
perceived result, but real transformation is about ensuring that all the people
of South Africa are educated at various levels in accordance with the relevance
of their particular discipline", says Brian Kirkchmann from SAPOA.
"We are aware that in order to redress the imbalance further over the long term,
we need to attract people into the industry from school-leaving age and we hope
that the Services Seta/Sapoa learnership programme will do that."
The government-sponsored programme, which is part of a number of educational
programmes aimed at upskilling people in the property industry, places learners
in Sapoa member companies for a year, after which they emerge with a
qualification and practical hands-on training.
