| Retail MDP Project |
QLP |
The Retail MDP aims to equip 150 middle managers with the skills to become effective in pursuing the organisational goals of excellence within their own organisations in the Wholesale and Retail sector. The Retail MDP also seeks to create an avenue for retail management development for prospective retail managers. Retail management development has been identified as a key requirement in terms of the sector skills plan. This is largely due to the fact that many retail managers are developed within the business, from a relatively low qualification requirement. Their skills acquisition is largely on the job and there is a deficit of retail qualifications available. The Retail MDP will be a welcome enabler to professionalise retail management and make a career in retail a more attractive proposition. Retail MDP graduates will also be able to further their learning with a career path into the ILDP. The central objective is to enhance the availability of skilled middle management in retail. |

| Impact Assessment of the W&R SETA Regional Offices |
Research |
It is important to recognize that building and sustaining the vision of regional structure is not easy, it is a continuous work in progress. The essence of this exercise will give SETA an opportunity re-evaluate and assess its strategy and gain a better understanding in terms of what works and what does not work. Regional offices are the ambassadors of SETA and it is important that they are in the right state to effectively and efficiently advance SETA mandate and offerings. Effective and efficient regional offices are essential in rolling out relevant and efficient skills development programmes in regions. It is, therefore; important for the W&RSETA to conduct a comprehensive impact assessment of the regional offices to gain depth understanding the impact and relevance of the regional offices. Furthermore, this will give SETA an opportunity to reflect on the regional offices mandate, allocations and indentify gaps and address any challenges |
