Welcome to the course History of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (HTV510S).
This course is a mandatory course for all students who study the Diploma in TVET. TVET is education and training which provides knowledge and skills for employment. Much emphasis has been placed on the fact that TVET is a crucial vehicle for social equity, inclusion and sustainable development. A TVET environment has a certain characteristic that distinguishes it from other education environments as it very much skills orientated and is aimed at competencies that are needed by industries. Therefore, students need to understand the TVET environment and the philosophies that underpin it. The following key areas will be addressed in this course:

Human Resource Management comprises a range of functions and functional activities that are carried out in order to, among other things, provide, utilise, remunerate, train, develop and maintain a motivated work force. It can, therefore, be described as a process embracing the dimensions of inception (getting individuals into the public sector); development (preparing employees to work effectively and efficiently); motivation (stimulating employees by caring for their needs) and maintenance (keeping employees in the public sector by providing suitable working conditions).
As you would imagine, the focus will mainly be on the African Public Service. You should thus strive to develop a genuine interest in the activities carried out by public sector institutions. This would provide you with an opportunity to evaluate human resource issues on a regular basis in this sector. You are, therefore, urged to apply practical examples in your approach to this subject.
