Host(s) – Stephen Theron
Participants: 6 including participation by DHET, Integration and Gogro Consultant
Challenges highlighted:
- Irregular attendance of workplace training by apprentice
- No monitoring system to track attendance
Potential Solutions:
- Use of QR codes to scan linked to a GPS system to track apprentice attendance
- Development of an app to monitor workplace participation and feedback from mentors
- Utilising the developed system to also inform mentor training interventions
Possible next Steps:
- Research to be conducted on what is currently available on the market providing similar services
- Explore prospects for scalability and fitness for purpose
- Test applicability
