The programme goals:

Enable workplace-based learning for graduates aimed at building and strengthening their capacity at various levels.
Creation of job opportunities and possible permanent placement beyond funding.
Transformation and organisational strengthening – strengthen different organisational development aspects including transformation in its totality, mentoring, proactive skills and planning to better respond to organisational mandates and other national priorities.
Research informed – through research, develop a ‘live’ skills intelligence system that will enable the sector to proactively plan for skills development and track and trace the utilisation of the developed skills.
