“Celebrating 20 years of knowledge sharing on learning and development in the public sector”
Announcing the 20th Public Sector Trainers’ Forum (PSTF) Conference on 7 – 9 October 2019 to be held at the Gallagher Convention Centre, Midrand, Gauteng Province, organised and hosted by the National School of Government and the PSTF Advisory Committee.
Background
In 2011, the South African government adopted the National Development Plan (NDP) – Vision 2030. Chapter 13 of the NDP calls for the building of a capable and developmental State. This vision calls for professional, disciplined, loyal, and committed public servants who possess the necessary skills and competencies to do their work.
In order to achieve Vision 2030, the public sector must have a strong cadre of public sector trainers and facilitators who are themselves well capacitated to be able to empower other public servants with requisite skills, competences and attributes.
This will afford attendants an opportunity to reflect critically on their roles in the context of building a capable and developmental State. Among others, the conference will deal with the policy environment, capacity development and career pathing, youth empowerment, facilitation of citizen-focused development programmes using existing models and methods, and financial and other resources needed for public sector trainers/facilitators to empower others.
Theme: “Enabling Vision 2030 through HRD: training and development for socio economic impact”
