National Policy Framework Development for Workplace-Based Learning in South Africa

Abstract

The latest response in South Africa to social problems associated with youth not in education, training, or employment (the NEET youth) is the intention to roll out large-scale programs of workplace-based learning. The implicit purposes are to improve the employability of youth, to ease the transition from school or learning to work, and to enhance the educational value of learning through authentic, real-life workplace situations.
