What We Do - ATHENA - INTERACTIVE TRAINING NETWORK (PTY) LTD

What ATHENA does....

ATHENA Interactive Training Network (Pty) Ltd offers our Client a selection of Qualifications, Learnerships, customised Skills Programmes & Workshops with specific goals in mind

We educate & empower corporate executives to understand and embrace the latest legislation so they can make fully informed strategic decisions within their companies. At the same time the executives' leadership qualities are developed. Our objective is to help drive the development agenda in our country.

Persons With Disabilities – We have worked since 2003 to change the perception that Persons With Disabilities are incapable of contributing to our country's mainstream economy. Our objective is to continue providing skills to Persons With Disabilities using the learnership model as this also enables the staff at host organisations to become sensitised to and aware of the issues surrounding disabilities. As long as we can continue to secure funding we will continue providing these services totally free of charge to our Citizens With Disabilities.

 

Rural and Deep-Rural Co-operatives – We are currently recruiting and establishing co-operatives in impoverished rural communities so that we can develop community-based sustainable economic hubs that will alleviate the plight of the people. We have ascertained that the reason most co-ops fail is due to a lack of training, specifically in business skills. Our objective is to recruit the entrepreneurs in these communities and give them the training they need while they run their co-ops.

We facilitate the personal and professional growth of our learners who are already employed so that they are able to add significant value to their organisations. With skilled staff, corporate growth is inevitable. The objective is to prepare our employed learners for promotion and progress up the corporate ladder so that their lower level posts become vacant, creating opportunity for the unemployed.

Small, Medium & Micro Enterprises – ATHENA recognises the need to support, mentor, train and develop the existing SMME sector as a key imperative in the fight to eradicate poverty and unemployment in South Africa. Our efforts will focus on the sustainability and growth of these entrepreneurs in our collective effort to contribute to our economy

Large Enterprises (50 Million and above turnovers) – We strongly believe this sector to not only be the pillar of our South African economy but paradoxically also our most vulnerable sector currently. The myriad of compliance imperatives contribute collectively to this potential vulnerability. We offer these institutions the opportunity to empower their people to optimally comply with the amended B-BBEE scorecard and simultaneously increase their competitiveness.

A Record 3.3 Million Americans Just Filed For Unemployment Benefits ...Unemployed individuals – We continue to create access to education for unemployed individuals through our learnership interventions by enabling them to gain South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) registered qualifications that are internationally recognised, while simultaneously allowing them to accumulate one year of relevant work experience. The objective is to optimally prepare our unemployed youth to capitalise on any job vacancies that may arise
