  1. TECHNICAL WORKING GROUP (TWG) PRESENTATION TO BCM MEETING 25th NOVEMBER 2011

  2. STRUCTURE

  3. TWG • BCM realised parallel forums (BOTA, GIZ, MESD and BNVQF) with same end goal – quality apprenticeship programme. • Pulled them together for synergy hence TWG • Focussed on artisan training with emphasis on heavy plant • Conducted an audit of all vocational technical training institutions in the country to assess capacity and readiness to offer these courses

  4. RESULTS • Utilization • VTIs visited are under utilised, not used during vacations. • No training of trainers at FCTVE despite its design and capacity (35% utilised) • Capacity • Most VTIs enroll target numbers • Some courses not offered because there are no trainers in a given VTI • Practical training capacity low.

  5. RESULTS • Availability of equipment • Most VTIs have right numbers & quality • Equipment either not working or not used, no maintenance plans in place • Programme or curriculum offered is the same: either NCC or BTEP based • Industry input to curricula unknown

  6. RESULTS • Trainers • Numbers inadequate • Not trained in use of certain equipment • Not an attractive job, trainers leave for industry • Trainers divorced from industry changes • Most BOTA accredited

  7. RECOMMENDATIONS • Adopt OrapaTraining Centre standards as the industry base • Improve match between theory and practical training • Training of trainers: • plan and implement ToT for qualified trades people with involvement of GIZ • Improve trainer package

  8. RECOMMENDATIONS • Two institutions as centres of excellence for mining related trades • FCTVE for north and BCET for south; they both offer Heavy Plant training • Industrial attachment critical in the development of artisans and trainers
