The Human Capital department has since held various discussions with line management and employees to dig deeper into queries raised. Action plans were established and implemented accordingly.

The 2022 target of 45 was exceeded, with 52 learners graduating with a National Certificate in Agri Export Technology. Upon completion, all learners received further seasonal employment opportunities with the PPECB. <\/p>\n<p>Co-funding from the Agricultural Sector Education and Training Authority (AgriSETA), was secured, which enabled us to also provide 11 unemployed graduates with work experience in the Laboratory, Information and Communications Technology (ICT), Human Capital and Finance departments. All students have gained further employment following their graduate placements. <\/p>\n<p>The Learning and Development unit\u2019s priority initiatives centred on upskilling and re-skilling employees for the rapidly changing world of work. We achieved our 2022 target of identifying and training ten new skills.<\/p>\n<p> In the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) landscape power skills (including collaboration, communication and empathy) are more important than ever. A New World of Work Leadership Re-skilling initiative for the Operational Management Committee (MANCO) team was therefore introduced. Apart from new theory, social learning in the form of facilitated peer coaching groups was provided for MANCO members to upskill them in Leading in Disruptive Times and Leading Hybrid Future Fit Teams. Feedback received was that the intervention provided a platform to upskill, reconnect and realign as a management team post-pandemic. The new Leadership Development Programme (LDP) was also updated with these 4IR leadership competencies. The 2022 intake of 25 learners are currently completing the National Qualification Framework (NQF) Level 4, and 20 employees are currently completing the NQF Level 5. The post-assessment results will be used to identify high-potential future leaders for the PPECB at the end of the 12-month learnership. Our previous LDP graduates (2019-2021) also received the same supplementary skills training to ensure that their leadership skills remain relevant. <\/p>\n<p>Managers and employees have reported seeing the impact from the LDP as managers are better able to \u2018assist employees while applying different leadership skills effectively\u2019. In addition the LDP has enabled employees to deal with emotions with emotional intelligence and provided an understanding of different personality and communication styles thus reducing team friction. IThrive and PPECB Supervisory Training also now include 4IR power skills. <\/p>\n<p>Cultivating Resilience and Holistic Wellness Management was included in all these re\u0002skilling programmes due to the increased need for well-being training. In line with advances in learning and development, employees benefit more from a combination of in-house courses and off-the-shelf content. Therefore, a library of open e-learning courses has been developed, including topics such as Learning Agility\/Growth Mindset and Adaptability and Resilience. The library is increasing access to skills whenever required and is also enabling more ownership of professional development.<\/p>\n<p>In support of the strategic objective of enhancing the PPECB\u2019s customer experience, an in-house Customer Excellence e-learning course was developed to ensure employees are informed of the customer service standards expected, understand applicable policy and procedures, and are equipped with practical skills to professionally deal with challenging situations. Customer service training was also included in the ERP training.<\/p>\n<p>In preparing our employees for rapid digitalisation, 36 delegates completed the new Data Literacy Upskilling initiative, and 11 employees were trained in practical Data Quality Management. The return on investment was realised in the identification of eight Data Champs whom the business intelligence (BI) department has co-opted as part of the Data Quality Forum.<\/p>\n<p>These new skills were in addition to the standard Personal Development Plan (PDP) requests and Compliance Training delivered. In total, 598 employees received formal training. One hundred e-learning courses are available on our online learning portal, with 4 579 course completions for the period.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1280px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#00adef&#8221; divider_position=&#8221;center&#8221; divider_weight=&#8221;2px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;70px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;left&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||11px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;default-subheading&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Open Sans||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; header_2_font=&#8221;Open Sans|600|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#00adef&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;15px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.9em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||-1px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Talent Management: Growth Opportunities<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;section-content ul-arrow&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Open Sans||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; header_2_font=&#8221;Open Sans|600|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#00adef&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;15px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.9em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||14px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]Our talent strategies are focused on skills, not just positions, to create a more adaptable and future-proof organisation.

High-potential talent is identified when these talent pools are reviewed. The LDP and Supervisory Talent Development Initiatives (Acting Chief Inspector\/Lead Assessor) are building a pool of potential talent for future leadership opportunities. Five custom talent development opportunities for critical competencies were also implemented in 2022.

development<\/strong><br \/>\nA smallholder farmer or producer is defined as a producer that produces at primary, secondary, and tertiary levels for household consumption as well as markets. Therefore, farming is consciously undertaken to meet the needs of households and derive a source of income.<br \/>\nThese are usually the new entrants aspiring to produce for the market at a profit with a maximum annual turnover of R5 million. The PPECB smallholder farmer development programme focuses on training and upskilling smallholder farmers from designated groups to see them graduate from subsistence to commercial farming.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Export Readiness and Market Access programme <\/strong><br \/>\nThe PPECB has agreements with all provinces where SAGAP certification and training is provided to selected smallholder farmers to enable their export readiness and thereby increase market access.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Training workshops for 721 smallholder farmers have been conducted for the year\u0002to-date. The annual target was exceeded as provinces expanded their programmes and demand by farmers and the markets for food safety certification increased.<\/li>\n<li>105 smallholder farmers producing raisins, rooibos, vegetables and fruit were certified for export.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"has-inner-list\"><strong>The SA Agri Academy training programme<\/strong><br \/>\nThis market access development programme enables delegates to produce a business plan and be coached over a three-year period to implement it successfully.

This process will be extended to the Mpumalanga cooperative group of female farmers. All the farmers will benefit once they meet the criteria to apply for affordable production loans. This will enable them to grow and become commercially viable.
