PIVOTAL PROGRAMMES
•Pivotal programmes are professional, vocational, technical and
academic learning programmes, which meet critical needs for
economic growth and social development.
•These programmes generally combine course work at universities,
universities of technology or colleges with structured learning at
work – through, among other things, professional placements, workintegrated learning, apprenticeships, Learnerships and
internships. Provision is made within the WSP and ATR templates
to plan for and report against PIVOTAL programmes.
