Implementing Artisan Data System for Development Summit Recommendations

2NDHRDC SUMMIT 2016 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ARTISAN DEVELOPMENT TECHNICAL TASK TEAM RECOMMENDATIONS

1stBLOCKAGE PROBLEM STATEMENT Detailed, accurate and current artisan data for trade prioritization not available. SOLUTION Develop and implement policy and system on artisan data collection, collation, analysis and reporting.

SYSTEM 2012 2013 PROBLEM SOLUTION & IMPLEMENTATION Detailed, accurate and current artisan data for trade prioritization not available. Develop and implement a policy and sytem on artisan data collection, collation, analysis and reporting. A D T T T Isolated, sectorial and territorial. Manipulative and based on listed trade. Mostly unstructured (no intelligent form), is devoid of projection capability. Continuous refinement, visible intelligent data structure. No base for accurate artisan skills planning. Offers artisan skills projection (planning) capability. Irreconcilable with the artisan skills supply and demand curve. Reconcilable with the labour market artisan supply and demand curve. Target projection lacked AG scrutiny. Is subject to AG scrutiny. http://nadsc.dhet.gov.za

SYSTEMS CHALLENGES 1. Resolving definitional issues in the presentation of artisan data information (policy matter). SETA and INDLELA artisan data timely submission. Auditor General processes and verification challenges. Extending the capacity of NADSC. Non-grant funded statistics. Reconciling the present artisan performance aggregates with the set projections, NDP targets. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

2ndBLOCKAGE PROBLEM STATEMENT A differentiated artisan trades funding model across sectors not ideal. SOLUTION Develop a single guaranteed funding model for all artisan trades applicable to all sectors.

FROM CENTRAL DATA MANAGEMENT TO CENTRAL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ARTISAN LEARNER GRANT THROUGH POLICY Step 1: Enabling financial projection and budget for the following year National Artisan Budget SETAs + NSF funding DHET SETA service level agreement on artisan training targets DHET :CD NAD consolidate total budget 16/17 target projection 30750 @ 150 000/139 350 There is yet no pulling of artisan training funds to the centre, SETAs still do this individually and administratively through SLA agreements with CD: NAD

POLICY PROCESS CHALLENGES 1. Applications consolidation onto a single national database of artisan learner workplaces for use in planning spatially based capacity building initiatives. 2. Determination of the number of learners not funded. 3. Disbursement of the standardised artisan grant through tranche payment. Step 2; 3 and 4: Still a challenge in terms of NADSC centralisation SETAs still perform these functions and all workplace learning records are held by them, determination of learners not funded has no central consolidation, only opened for NADSC at verification periods. SETAs are progressively implementing the artisan learner grant of R150000, it is the full agreement and implementation of the policy processes which remain a challenge. More policy interaction needed to built a common understanding of the parameters of the National Artisan Database System.

3rdBLOCKAGE PROBLEM STATEMENT There is no national RPL system in place meant to evaluate artisan workplace experience possessed by employees who do not have any formal artisan qualification SOLUTION Create a policy framework for artisan recognition of prior learning (ARPL)

TOOLKIT BASED APPROACH TO ARTISAN EXPERIENCE EVALUATION For the purpose of integrated final assessment in the historical trades these toolkits were developed : (Boilermaker, Welder, Electrician, Fitter and Diesel Mechanic). Of the 222 candidates enlisted, 85 went through theory, practical and workplace observation phases. Of this 85, a total of 68 were recommended for trade testing. To date 14 have been trade tested, passed (3 welders) , failed (2 welder, 3 fitter and 1 turner) 5 were absent. 54 candidates are awaiting trade testing. 23 October 2015 (No. 39313) for public comment. The Artisan RPL Draft Policy was published in the Government Gazette of
