Occupational Learning

The purpose of this unit standard (8967) is to facilitate how to learn and to ensure that learners are able to cope in the context of learnerships, skills programmes and other programmes. Many adult learners in the FET band have not been in an educational situation for a long time, and need strategies to learn and study and skills to enable successful progression.

Learners competent at this level will be able to deal with learning materials, to access and use useful resources, to seek clarification and help when necessary, and apply a range of learning strategies. They do this with an understanding of the features and processes of the workplaces and occupations to which their learning programmes refer.

This unit standard (8962) will be useful to learners who need a sound foundation of spoken language ability for further language growth, and for application in real-life contexts. Learners talk confidently in both formal and informal contexts and actively listen for ideas and information in interactions with other people. They are aware of the ways others speak to influence listeners and audiences. In conveying their ideas and information they select the language and a register that is accessible to their audience and fit for their purpose.
