There are two certainties in life and in business. One is that there will always be change, and the other is that people will always be central to our society. Although the former may change the importance of the latter to some degree, it will not make people obsolete in our lifetime. It is because of this that management will also always be crucial in any business. In order to establish a sustainable and effective management structure in any organisation, it is essential that companies begin this process from the foundations up. Enrolling your employees in a Management NQF level 3 Learnership is one way in which this can be achieved.

Developing the skills of a prospective or current junior manager is equally if not more important than developing the skills of an employee in a senior management position. At the beginning of one’s career, mistakes will be made, however, the strength of that individual will be found in their response to this mistake. An effective and strategic response to conflict and challenges in the work place can be implemented through experience and quick problem-solving skills. These are just two beneficial characteristics that a Management Learnership emboldens both prospective junior managements and those already employed in the industry. In addition to these elements, learners will develop their practical management skills through engagement in theoretical concepts and scenarios.

One of the primary reasons for failure amongst new entrants to the management sphere of any industry, is a lack of confidence. Being made responsible for a group of people, whether on a small or corporate scale, can be somewhat daunting or overwhelming. By providing junior managers with a skill set that makes them adaptable to any scenario, your company will simultaneously be providing them with confidence in their own ability to manage their team effectively. This learnership opportunity is a comfortable and risk-free environment in which your employees are able to workshop and develop their skills. Making this space available also ensures that you limit the risks that both your company and your customers could be exposed to in the face of poor management decisions.

Training new managers to perform at the level of current senior managers essentially guarantees their success should they be required to step up at any point. A Management NQF level 3 Learnership does this by focusing on ensuring that prospective and current junior managers are able to compare, choose, interpret, and apply gained knowledge in a way that they may never have considered or been exposed to before.

It is a simple fact that better informed employees produce better quality output and ultimately create a more effective work environment. By investing in this simple means of risk-reduction, your company is investing in its future success.
