NGOs NATIONALLY GRANTED ACCESS TO FREE SOFT E-LEARNING SKILLS TRAINING

In a breakthrough development to help build capacity amongst NGOs, learning, and skills development have now been placed within the sector’s immediate reach.  Covid-19 induced lockdown and subsequent economic effects have resulted in a difficult operating climate for South African NGOs; however, the problems that NGOs seek to address have not ceased. Instead, they have been exacerbated by the recent events including the pandemic, and there is now a growing need for new models of engagement between communities, NGOs, and society at large. 

 Through a partnership with Khulisa and SpecCon Holdings a cutting-edge platform has been created to provide affordable and accessible learning NGOs, CBOs, and individuals nationwide, to catapult them into an era where e-learning has become the primary platform for skills development. 

Founder and Managing Director of Khulisa, Lesley Ann van Selm says, “Through engaging with hundreds of partner NGOs across the country, it is evident that through access enhanced learning, the partnership with SpecCon Holdings will combat the critical shortage of necessary skills, enhance career development, facilitate improved service delivery, standardise knowledge transfer and promote collaboration within our currently divided sector”.

This partnership comes at an opportune time as Khulisa is leading The Alex Programme – a peace-making and social cohesion initiative – which aims to capacitate individuals, the community, local government, and NGOs with skills to roll out peace-building and social cohesion activities in the community and surrounding areas. The programme serves to equip and empower people with actionable knowledge about social cohesion, peace-making, restoration, and active citizenship. In addition, there is an in-depth practical entrepreneurship component that promotes job creation, employment, and innovation. 

That said, the partnership between Khulisa and SpecCon Holdings will lead to the rollout of the courses listed below to over 2500 NGOs.
