• Transforming 4 ISSA programmes to learnerships
• Managed by ISETT SETA - the Executing Agency
• Funded the the NSF
Background on ISSA• Institute for Satellite and Software Applications
• ISSA is situated in the space facilities built near Grabouw in the 1980s, at Houwteq in the Western Cape area
• The facility was built to house systems for the design, programme management, integration and testing of small satellites and launch vehicles
• ISSA started operating as a training institute from 1998, created and operated by (DoC)
Project Objective• To produce human resource capabilities for the SA
ICT Sector, through the transferable means of learnerships,
• Addressing the needs of PDIs.
• To be achieved through transforming existing programmes at ISSA into learnerships.
• Additional indirect contributions to the ICT Sector and the learnership development process, for example development of unit standards, some of which can be employed in other learnerships.
Specific Outcomes • The development of four learnerships
• To have all (530) graduates placed into SMME or Workplace Provider establishments over the three-year course of the project
• To achieve at least an 80% satisfaction rating from the establishments in which learners are placed
• To achieve at least a 50% learner sponsorship (while the learner is undergoing the Training Provider component) from the ICT Sector by the end of this project
Specific Outcomes (cont.)
• To gain the interest of at least two other universities in South Africa to adopt these learnerships
• To strive for 10% of graduates entering into the R&D/SMME environment
• To establish a graduate tracking process
