Learnership Application Description

LEARNERSHIPS AND SKILLS PROGRAMMES

We deliver learnerships and skills programmes in quality partnerships with the QCTO, FoodBev SETA, merSETA, Services SETA and TETA SETA. Since 2006, we have worked with most food manufacturers in South Africa and have earned the reputation of the ‘go-to’ provider in the sector.



We are well placed to make the transition from SETA quality controlled learnerships to oversight by the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO) for Occupational Certificates and Diplomas.


VALUE PROPOSITION

  • Our learnership throughput rate is over 80%.

  • We conduct readiness assessments to ensure that nominated learners have every chance of success.

  • Our Project Managers deal with QCTO an SETA hurdles.

  • Regular reports keep managers appraised of learner progress.


If you work with Optimum you can be confident of three positive outcomes:

Real growth in competence of learners.

Maximisation of B-BBEE points, grants, and tax breaks.

Nationally recognised certification for successful learners.



Learnerships

Our range of learnerships aligns horizontally to the value chain – inbound logistics, manufacturing, outbound logistics and sales.Vertically the ladder provides learning opportunities to entry level employees up to Factory Managers.

Since 2006, working people employed at various levels – have completed one or more of these learnerships. Many of these people have been promoted into more challenging positions in the value chain and they continue to broaden their knowledge and learn new skills.

We find it very rewarding to be involved in this way in the development and advancement of deserving employees.

About the Company

In 2006, we started small with an office in Cape Town. Steadily, we secured key accounts that demanded a wider footprint. By 2009, we were delivering training to all of South Africa’s nine provinces with additional offices in Johannesburg and Durban.
