Brazilian National Service for Industrial Training (SENAI) and Dr Richard Maponya Institute for Skills and Entrepreneurship Development NPC to technical vocational collaboration & exchange Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)
Background: Dr Richard Maponya Institute for
Skills and Entrepreneurship Development NPC is welcoming the representatives of
the Brazilian National Service for Industrial Training (SENAI) from the 2nd
May to the 6th May 2016 in South Africa, culminating in the signing
of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two organizations.
The
signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) takes place on the 6th
May 2016 in Johannesburg.
The
signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) initiates a process that leads
to the implementation of the Work Plan over the first five years by the two
organizations, on a six monthly basis. This current proposal is the result of
understandings that were previously established between SENAI and the Dr Richard
Maponya Institute to structure a center for professional training in South
Africa, grounded on the SENAI structure and focused on the implementation of
SENAI’s Professional Education Methodology.
Purpose: The purpose of the MoU is for
the Exchange of Professional Qualification Methodology between Dr Richard Maponya Institute for Skills and
Entrepreneurship Development NPC – South Africa, and the National Service for Industrial Training
(SENAI) – Brazil.
The Rationale: The planning, implementation and
development of a professional training center aimed at fulfilling current and
future demands of the job market and entrepreneurship ecosystem require a set
of studies, resources and activities that guide all projects implementation
phases. One of the most important stages is that of clearing and objectively
defining the pedagogical project of the professional training center. The
project is the essence for the Institute’s educational proposal and is an
instrument through which the Institute’s community can develop joint efforts,
for which personal and collective responsibilities will be attributed so that
the established objectives can be attained. Aiming at such objectives the
pedagogical model for the teaching and learning processes are proposed in the Work
Plan.
Exposure to the South African
landscape: During
their visit from the 2nd May to 6th May 2016 the
delegation from SENAI will visit the Department of Higher Education and
Training (DHET), South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA), Human Resources
Development Council of South Africa (HRDC SA), University of Johannesburg
(Faculty of Management, and the Resolution Circle), Manufacturing Engineering
and Related Services SETA (merSETA), Marcopolo (the Brazilian company operating
in South Africa), Ekurhuleni West TVET College, and Dr Richard Maponya
Institute offices. The purpose of the visits to these organizations is for the
Brazilian delegation to familiarise themselves with the education, skills, and
entrepreneurship development landscape in South Africa
