Finding Your Way in the World of Work. Activity Guide for Office Administration: Level 2

This activity guide is the end result of a journey into materials development that started at the beginning of 2005. Some 30 educators from the FET colleges participated in a series of workshops which were aimed at developing a core team of people in the Limpopo province who could support any initiatives in their own colleges to develop suitable materials for NQF aligned learning programmes including learnerships. The ultimate goal is for colleges to become more responsive to the needs of the province and their learners and to improve the quality of learning and teaching.
