PIVOTAL PROGRAMMES Pivotal programmes are professional, vocational, technical and academic learning programmes, which meet critical needs for economic growth and social development. These programmes generally combine course work at universities, universities of technology or colleges with structured learning at work – through, among other things, professional placements, work- integrated learning, apprenticeships, Learnerships and internships. Provision is made within the WSP and ATR templates to plan for and report against PIVOTAL programmes.
