3. A Vocational Training Directory.

Author

Human Sciences Research Council, Pretoria (South Africa)., Heymans, Susan, and Hirschowitz, Ros

Abstract

This directory describes the training that is taking place in the private sector in the various industries in South Africa, excluding agriculture and domestic service, at a macro level. It focuses on training given or coordinated by industry training boards, regional training centers, certain employer organizations, and certain large employers, as an example of training that is available in an industry. Industries are classified into the following categories: mining and quarrying; manufacturing (food beverages and tobacco; textile, clothing, and leather; wood and wood products; paper and paper products; chemicals; nonmetallic mineral products; metal products, machinery, and equipment; electricity, gas, and water; construction; wholesale and retail trade, catering, and accommodation; transport, storage, and communication; finance, insurance, real estate, and business services; and community, social, and personal services.) Descriptions of training organizations are presented alphabetically, according to the industries in which they are found. Each description covers such areas as running training courses, coordination and administration of training, setting syllabi and setting standards, setting examinations, training for trainers or instructors, financing of training, training facilities, and contact person. A description of the training available at the nine regional training centers concludes the directory. (YLB)

4. Training for the Informal Sector. The NTB/HSRC Investigation Main Report.

Author

Human Sciences Research Council, Pretoria (South Africa). and Hirschowitz, Ros

Abstract

A study identified the environmental and personal factors that promote or hinder the development of entrepreneurship in the informal sector in South Africa. A developmental perspective of informal businesses set forth in the literature supported the global approach chosen for the research. Information was acquired through indepth interviews with seven groups of respondents: informal business owners, customers, formal business owners, suppliers, financiers, representatives of business organizations, and municipal officials. Specific research aims were formulated for each group. Biographical descriptions of the group and/or descriptions of the business or association were developed. Informal business owners were surveyed regarding resources available in the immediate environment, perceptions of the type of customers that support the business, interactions with other businesses, and official recognition. Information collected from other groups focused on their perceptions of and interactions with informal businesses. Training implications of the findings were identified. A national training strategy for development of the informal sector and a structure of a separate training body for the informal sector were proposed. Guidelines regarding the training necessary to enable entrepreneurs in small businesses to start up, run, or expand their businesses in the informal sector were developed. (The report contains 129 tables and 13 figures. Fifty-one references are listed.) (YLB)
