3. 3 Underpinning and Objectives of the MIP  In 2007, the President stated that: “SAMDI should be the major service provider (in public sector training) including in the mass induction of public servants”  The urgency of the MIP was confirmed by the MPSA in her 2007 Budget Vote Speech  The intention is to expose new public servants to the core values of public service delivery, Batho Pele and development:  To develop and inculcate the Batho Pele ethos of serving;  To stimulate a sense of pride in working for the Public Service;  To point participants to generic as well as functional skills; and  To create an awareness of the challenges of the developmental state.

4. 4 Implementation Challenge and Mechanism Target Audience  The estimated number of new public servants at national and provincial level is 100,000 per annum  General support staff (salary levels 1-5) - approx. 68,000;  Junior and middle managers (salary levels 6-12) - approximately 32,000; and  SMS (salary levels 13-16). This group is to be inducted separately.  The 100,000 translates into approximately 90 induction training sessions per week across all national and provincial departments  Assuming 2/3 of sessions in departments (including Training of Trainers), this still means three outsourced sessions in an average province every week, forever…

7. 7 Implementation Challenge and Mechanism Modes of Delivery  The MIP, like Academy programmes, will be rolled-out through a partnership model comprising  Departmental trainers (Training of Trainers);  Sectoral training (e.g. by Education, Health, Defence departments);  Private Sector (Outsourced); and Provincial Academies.  This approach is in line with Academy strategy, which shifts from  Competition to collaboration;  Direct provision to facilitation; and  Selective offerings to comprehensive or massified delivery.  Only suitably qualified trainers, will be licensed to facilitate the Induction Programme  SAMDI has developed qualification criteria for trainers;  Selected trainers have been trained in the use of the new manuals and methodology in an eight-day Training of Trainers Programme; and  A total of 500 trainers are being trained for the roll-out of the MIP.
