Question 1
Differentiation of Learning Programmes Under the Skills Development Act 97 of
1998
The Skills Development Act 97 of 1998, amended by Act 37 of 2008, aims to improve the
skills of the South African workforce by implementing structured learning programmes.
These programmes are designed to provide learners with practical work experience
combined with theoretical knowledge. The Act identifies several types of learning
programmes, including Learnerships, Apprenticeships, Skills Programmes, the National
Artisan Moderating Body (NAMB), and other prescribed learning programmes. Each type
of learning programme is structured to suit different training needs and employment
contexts, as detailed below:
Learnerships
Learnerships are occupationally directed programmes that combine structured learning
with practical work experience. They are generally linked to a specific occupation and
include an employment contract between the learner and the employer. Learnerships aim
to bridge the gap between education and the workplace by providing learners with both
theoretical knowledge and on-the-job training. This dual approach helps learners acquire
specific skills that are directly applicable to their chosen careers. For instance, a
learnership in office administration would involve both classroom learning and practical
tasks such as filing, scheduling, and communication within a business setting. The
learner’s progress is monitored throughout the programme to ensure they are meeting
the required competencies.
