Industry stakeholders linked to the occupational domains of ‘Road Construction and Maintenance’ and ‘Heavy Plant Equipment Operations’ are invited to participate in national consultations on related unit standards and qualifications, registered on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF).
According to the NTA’s TVET Standards Manager, Amon Haufiku stakeholder inputs will assist the Technical Working Groups (TWGs) in the refinement of the unit standards and qualifications.
“A recent review has resulted in a number of changes and amendments to the existing unit standards and qualifications in these domains. Our review work must follow processes similar to those followed in the development, and thus calls for a formal consideration inclusive of the engagement of relevant national stakeholders”, he explained.
Stakeholders can attend a series of national consultation workshops as per the schedule below, and confirm attendance before the respective consultative workshop dates.
