  25. GOING FORWARD – NEXT 5 YEARS 25 STRATEGY • RE ESTABLISHMENT AS A SETA • We are forging ahead with greater confidence being re established “AS IS” as a SETA • NSDS 3 & MINING CHARTER SUPPORT • Implement NSDS3 and support skills development in terms of the Mining Charter as per the MMS priority skills • STRATEGY ALIGNMENT • We have amended our strategic objectives to include objective decision making through research as well as the enhancement of information management and monitoring, evaluation and review • TRANSFORMATION – DEVELOPING BLACK MANAGERS • More learners entering in our bursary scheme, work experience and internships to ensure transformation in the sector takes place, particularly the development of black managers • MINE SAFETY • 40 000 OHS Representatives and Shop Stewards will be trained in the • next 5 years, so far over 10 000 have been trained

  27. GOING FORWARD – NEXT 5 YEARS 27 PROGRAMMES • CAREER GUIDANCE • We have developed a career guidance book which is distributed to schools. We also visit schools and host exhibitions. We also host or partner career days with other organisations, DMR, DHET, DoL, SAQA, municipalities and mining houses throughout the year • QUALIFICATIONS • All qualifications out for public comment are finalised within set timeframes so that effective implementation takes place • IMPROVING LITERACY • Of the estimated 550 000 employees in our mines, 50% have education below • NQF Level 1. We are ensuring increased learner intakes, that ABET facilitators are well trained, the curriculum is improved and assessment processes are eing standardised • LEARNER INTAKES • Employers are being incentivised to take on learners on ABET, learnerships, artisans and skills programmes.
