Abstract

Orientation: Learnerships has been operationalised in South Africa as part of the National Skills Development Strategy (NSDS). The success of a learnership programme is influenced by stakeholder involvement. Research purpose: This study set out to explore the value of learnerships from an organisational stakeholder point of view. Motivation for the study: The stakeholder theory perspective posits the importance of stakeholders buy-in and involvement in learnership implementation. Research approach/design and method: Semi-structured interviews with three key stakeholders in a specific learnership programme were conducted in 2020. Data were analysed by means of thematic analysis using Atlas.ti 8.1. Main findings: Although the primary objective of learnerships is to develop vocational skills, the organisation and even larger community also reap benefits from hosting a learnership. These benefits include lower recruitment costs, capacity building with employees that understands the culture of the organisation, simplified onboarding, and community involvement. Practical/managerial implications: Skills development in the learnerships is largely facilitated by means of social and informal learning. Although formal training opportunities are an important part of learnership, it should be designed to include interaction and collaboration with employees in the organisation. Contribution/value added: Skills development as operationalised in the NSDS is part of the learner benefit of the learnership programme in South Africa. This article highlights how external stakeholders can reap greater benefits in terms of capacity building if the learners are engaged in meaningful organisational contribution.
从组织利益相关者的角度对学习价值的简短报告
方向:作为国家技能发展战略(NSDS)的一部分,南非已经开始实施学习。一个学习伙伴计划的成功与否受到利益相关者参与的影响。研究目的:本研究旨在从组织利益相关者的角度探讨学习的价值。研究动机:利益相关者理论的观点认为利益相关者的购买和参与在学习关系实施中的重要性。研究方法/设计和方法:在2020年对特定学习伙伴计划中的三个关键利益相关者进行了半结构化访谈。数据分析采用Atlas进行专题分析。ti 8.1。主要发现:虽然学习的主要目标是发展职业技能,但组织甚至更大的社区也能从举办学习中获益。这些好处包括较低的招聘成本、与了解组织文化的员工进行能力建设、简化入职手续以及社区参与。实际/管理意义:通过社会和非正式学习,在很大程度上促进了学习者的技能发展。虽然正式的培训机会是学习关系的重要组成部分,但它应该被设计成包括与组织内员工的互动和协作。贡献/增值:在NSDS中实施的技能发展是南非学习伙伴计划的学习者利益的一部分。本文强调了如果学习者参与有意义的组织贡献,外部利益相关者如何在能力建设方面获得更大的利益。

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
