The varied programme content provides students with a firm basis of digital marketing strategy, presenting skills, content marketing, UX design, project management, SEO, market research and a range of other valuable contemporary knowledge and expertise. These skills can be applied immediately at work, allowing both the students and the company immediate benefits from the outset of the programme. Moreover, this method of upskilling also gives learners a confidence boost that deepens the rewards of programme.
Corporates will get maximum B-BBEE Skills Development points ROI, high-performing teams, happier staff and SETA and tax deductions. Win-win is a clichéd expression, but in this case, it’s spot on.
What’s so great about an online learnership?
This format offers the greatest flexibility; learning can take place in the office or anywhere (geography doesn’t matter), during lunch breaks, tea breaks, after hours and over weekends. As with all forms of staff training, allowances for learning time are strongly encouraged. And of course, there’s none of the hassle involved in getting back and forth from venues.
Why are learnerships important?
Transformation is a critical issue in South Africa. While highly skilled teams and improved performance are excellent reasons to do a learnership, helping transformation in SA is significantly more important in the long run. The legacy of apartheid won’t be addressed if we don’t all make a concerted effort to play our part in changing society for the better. These programmes directly tackle education and unemployment crises as well as help companies build strong pipelines of talent, which assists transformation at varying levels in their business. Over time this leads to transformation at all levels across the organisation.
