learnerships, artisan courses or workplace training) will help people upskill themselves. This will
in turn give South Africa more skilled workforce and in position to innovate and bring new ideas
to the country to fight the challenges that are faced and help boost the economy with more
advanced skills can be able to compete in the global market and will have to skills to help with
that. More skills and development will help the country be able to compete with more developed
countries as they will have the required skills and be able to source resources to help them do
so. As the world is becoming more advanced and has maneuvered more into 4IR it requires
more skills to adjust to the moving times and the country will need to be able to keep up in order
to generate more wealth and money coming into the country as they won’t have to hire people
from outside the country to outsource the services that are not found in the country which can
be very expensive especially for a country with not enough funds.

seminars, dads or e-learning. Decide on the training material that will be used (be it textbooks,
videos and whether or not they will be a need to print out ) Should also consider staff time
