    Exploring the Gauteng comprehensive HIV and AIDS care, management and treatment training programme
    (2014-02-19) Suping, Nkhesane Agnes
    In 2003/2004, the provinces of South Africa developed a Comprehensive HIV and AIDS Care, Management and Treatment (CCMT) training curriculum to provide healthcare professionals with specialised knowledge and skills to deliver comprehensive HIV and AIDS care, management and treatment services for persons infected with HIV and AIDS. The initiative was in response to the decision to introduce Antiretroviral Therapy (ART).The report was presented to Cabinet by the Joint Health and Treasury Task Team (JHTTT) on the 8th August 2003. The purpose of this research study was to explore the learning experiences and challenges encountered by healthcare professionals trained on the Gauteng Department of Health(GDoH) CCMT training programme during transfer of learning to workplaces between 2004 and 2010. The research methodology used was a qualitative research approach and the research design was a basic interpretive research study. The research participants consisted of six doctors and six professional nurses employed in the Gauteng province. The main findings are that healthcare professionals trained in the GDoH CCMT training programme felt that the programme provided them with the knowledge and skills to render the ART services. In addition, most of the participants valued and preferred the multidisciplinary group to be taught in the same class. The majority of doctors felt that they required more of a clinical focus training approach to effectively apply their learning from the CCMT training programme.

    Evaluation of the new venture creation learnership programme offered by the Sector Education Training Authorities in South Africa
    (2014-02-19) Naidoo, Denver
    “Small, Medium, and Micro-Enterprises (SMMEs) represent an important vehicle to address the challenges of job creation, economic growth, and equity in our country. Throughout the world one finds that SMMEs are playing a critical role in absorbing labour, penetrating new markets and generally expanding economies in creative and innovative ways” (McGrath, 2005; p.6). The study assessed the “New Venture Creation (Small, Medium, and Micro Enterprises (SMME)” National Qualifications Framework (NQF) Level 2 learnership program offered by the Sector Education and Training Authorities (SETAs) namely the Services SETA (SSETA) and the Management, Engineering and Related Services (merSETA). The primary purpose of the study is to contribute towards the development of an effective new venture creation training program for entrepreneurs within South Africa (SA). A quantitative approach was therefore best suited to identify the crucial factors affecting the outcome of the above investigation. A 7-point Likert scale was used as the measuring instrument. The captured data was analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistic methods. The mode, mean, frequencies, standard deviation, Chi-square, and regression analyses were used. The key findings were that more than 90% of new ventures were created across all industry sectors since the completion of the “New Venture Creation (SMME)” learnership programme for the sample population tested. The Return on Investment (ROI) proved to be very attractive with benefits exceeding the cost of the training within a 12-month period. Overall, the research supported the claim that the “New Venture Creation (SMME)” learnership program is adding value to the development of young entrepreneurs in the sectors covered by the study. The program however does have some areas of concern that need attention, and could restrict the future growth of entrepreneurs if attention is not provided in this regard.
