20 April 2017 - NW829
Bucwa, Ms H to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training
With regard to his reply to question 2449 on 6 December 2016, how did each international trip undertaken by management executives of the Bank Sector Education and Training Authority (a) directly and (b) indirectly contribute to increasing the number of beneficiaries of skills training?
Reply:
Based on the reports obtained from the Banking Sector Education and Training Authority (BANKSETA), one delegate was certificated during one of the Marine Africa Expansion study trips. The trips were undertaken to inform the relevant African countries of the International Executive Development Programme (IEDP) General Banking and Investment Banking components as well as the Africa Expansion project and IEDP: Development Finance, which was approved in the 2016/17 financial year and comprised of a delegation from the banking and micro-finance sector.
The IEDP trips were undertaken to verify the continuing relevance of the programme to the sector from the Board (stakeholder) and executive management perspectives. The programme is continuing with an intake of 40 delegates from the sector on an annual basis.
