Stakeholders

The stakeholders that are involved are management, employees, the SDF, Skills Development Committee members and Training Providers.

After every Skills Audit was done and the training needs identified, a meeting must be held with all stakeholders. The information must be discussed as the stakeholders must decide on the priorities of these needs. Money must be allocated to the training budget so that these needs can be addressed. The managers and supervisors will then have an idea of the types of training that will take place. They must be part of the planning as they will have to release the employees from the workplace to attend training activities.

At the end of the training cycle, the SDF should give feedback to the stakeholders on the following:

• The training budget – how was the money spent (facilitator costs, venue costs, learning material, refreshments, stationary, etc.)
• The evaluation/feedback report – feedback on training interventions planned and which of these interventions were implemented.
• The ATR – what was accomplished and what was not addressed in the WSP
