About the programme:

‘Black Empowerment’ is a concept that provokes both fear and hope to various South Africans. In organisational context we use the term on a daily basis. Yet few managers actually know what it means, entails or how to manage it. This workshop gives participants the necessary background and knowledge to understand and implement black empowerment within South African context.
Some of the areas covered during this two-day workshop are:

Government initiatives on black empowerment. This includes various laws, white papers and other drafts & proposals.
Report and recommendations of the Black Economic Empowerment Commission.
Arguments for and against black empowerment.
The effect of black empowerment on public and private sectors.
Practical management of black empowerment within organisational context.

The workshop outcome:

On completion of the programme participants should be able to understand and implement the concept of Black Empowerment within organisational context.

Specific outcomes of the workshop content:

Participants should achieve the workshop outcome by being able to:

Have a good understanding and interpretation of South African initiatives for black empowerment.
Define the concept of black empowerment.
Implement and manage black empowerment initiatives within an organisation.

Training methodology:

The methodology is based on interactive learning, i.e. learners will learn by doing. Furthermore learners will use examples from their own organisations, thus ensuring that the learning is anchored at their workplace. As with all DCT training programmes, we strive to effect actual change back at the workplace through effective and practical outcomes based training.
