Workplace-based learning (WBL)
increases the labor market relevance of skills development
programs and the employability of their graduates. The
advantages of WBL for enriching the learning experience and
improving the outcomes of skills development, and enhancing
the employability of graduates, have always been recognized
in South Africa. Engaging in WBL can help micro and small
enterprises (MSEs) secure skilled labor and increase their
productivity. Against this background, the World Bank and
the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET)
agreed to conduct a study about the involvement of MSEs in
WBL in South Africa. The study intends to shed light on the
constraints and opportunities for expanding WBL engagement
among MSEs in South Africa, by taking stock of the current
situation of MSE participation in WBL, identifying
constraints, potential and key enablers, and outlining
possible strategies to better engage and support MSEs in
WBL. The study reviews the concept of WBL in a wider sense
than is often applied in skills development debates in South
Africa. Unlocking the vast potential of WBL and work
experience opportunities to be offered to young South
Africans by small and very small (micro) enterprises will be
an important contribution to the fight against youth unemployment. |
