"I
am 'gatvol' for beggin. Please I need your scholarship donation!"
Maak jy werklik
‘n verskil wanneer jy die man op die straathoek met die
smeekbede om die nek ‘n paar munte in die hand stop?
Are you really making
a difference when you hand out those brown coins to the man
with the board around his neck on the street corner? Deep
inside you know the answer is ‘no!’, perhaps a quick fix,
but no real help!.
Yet, there is something
in your nature that wants to make a difference, something
that wants to help and also feels for
the need of suffering people.

Amajobjob scholarship
programme:
How does this scholarship in Amajobjob
translate into sustainable transformation?
In the past 15 post-apartheid years, government,
corporate sector and donor agencies focused their budgets
on skills development of disenfranchised groups As a result,
many artisan groups sprung up with baseline skills. Many individuals
have had additional training opportunities e.g. product development,
marketing, entrepreneurship training, etc. as could be seen
from the certificates on their walls.
Example:
To illustrate how it works, let’s take our bag manufacturing
division as a practical example.
-
Amajobjob selects seamstresses from
poor communities who are at a level A3 (They typically
have average technical industrial sewing skills and additionally
have access to a sewing machine).
-
Amajobjob now takes the successfully
selected applicants to the next level of competency by
offering a “workplace rigorous scholarship” based on the
unique A2B methodology. The scholarship takes place in
real production environments and scholars are taken through
a toughening process full of manufacturing challenges.
-
The ultimate aim is that scholars reach
high quality and productivity levels in manufacturing,
but even more so, develop analytical skills, take initiative
and solve own problems. Every person is unique and therefore
has a different pace in reaching this level of competency.
-
Once these clients have successfully
complied to “production smartness levels”, they start
working from their own choice of premises, within a subcontracted
relationship with Amajobjob. Every time a new product
order is acquired by Amajobjob’s marketing division, they
spend another period at the centre to obtain new product
competencies.
-
Amajobjob entrepreneurs should have
their own infrastructure and tools, and have the ability
to work independently, performing own quality control.
-
Not only is the full cycle( holistic)
socio economic wellness addressed but a greater sense
of dignity is also developed within this unique A2B approach.
