Deliverables and disbursement funds work in tandem. Recruitment of learners and Induction. To be done soon after submitting MoAs and within timeframes. Learners to be given full induction – must know rules and regulations. Workplace approval status needed (Approval by CHIETA or Other SETAs) Apprenticeships : Agreements must be signed by all parties before the programme starts Learnerships: Agreements must be signed by all parties before the programme starts. Learner contracts must be completed in full and accurately. ID copies and copies of qualifications must be legible and certified. Accurate names of programmes and codes. Accurate start and end dates.
