MSTC offer a mentoring program for all students who have trained at the centre. This includes telephonic as well as face-to-face assistance, where possible, for any technical issues which they may encounter in the workplace.
The difference between learnerships, skills programs and apprenticeships
Apprenticeships | Learnerships | Skills Programs |
---|---|---|
Focus predominantly on practical skills, with some theory at technical college. | Combine theory and practical and include non trade areas at different levels, for different occupations | As with learnerships, except that skills programs are shorter clusters of unit standards that lead to credits, and not a full qualification (they should involve at least 1 unit standard) |
Aimed mainly at younger people starting work. | Available to new entrants and existing employees. | Agreements are not compulsory; Are building blocks towards qualifications |
Time and competency based learning. | Outcomes based learning that allows learners to move at their own pace. | |
Controlled by industry Training boards. | Tri-party agreement, signed by the employer, learner and training provider, registered with the SETA | |
Trade test at an accredited site to qualify. | Outcomes based assessment against registered national unit standards to be awarded a national qualification |
