It's a fact that a large number of South African workers in formal employment are not as productive as they could be because of low literacy levels.
The ISS ABET programme is designed to improve the skill levels of the local workforce - by providing meaningful, basic quality adult education.
We support workers in their effort to acquire numeracy and communicative skills that will allow them to embark on a lifelong learning process, and reach their maximum potential in their careers and communities.
Through the ISS ABET programme:
- LEARNERS will be able to qualify for learnership programmes while progressing towards a recognised formal qualification.
- COMPANIES receive support in their efforts to implement workplace skills plans, in line with the Skills Development Act No.97 of 1999.
