Informal Small Business Practice & its Impact on Course Offerings of Private Colleges in SA

This video focuses on course outcomes and the business strategies of private colleges in South Africa. the COVID-19 pandemic has had a tremendous impact on all private colleges, including most businesses irrespective of sector. Pre-COVID, the private college industry was characterized by high pricing (in today's terms); the teacher and student had to be in the same place for teaching and learning to occur, face-to-face learning dominated the education spectrum, large premises, extensive staffing, most courses were designed around the academic model, with little and no focus on entrepreneurship and small business management. COVID-19 has changed that quite drastically. With ongoing lockdowns and the ever-increasing rate of unemployment, more and more people are now sitting at home, either retrenched, made redundant, or lost their job through company closures etc. These people are skilled in their respective disciplines but are locked in their views from an employee perspective. Whilst they may be skilled in their disciplines, they have no idea on how to transform their thinking by taking the skills they have and taking it to the market and making a living out of it. This is not a choice anymore since the corporate sector is shedding more jobs than it currently employs. The National Certificate in Informal Small Business Practice is one example of an entrepreneurial programme that would have mutual value to both employees looking to start their own businesses and also private colleges in that their product offerings are now more meaningful to the society at large. In fact, it is safe to assume that every course irrespective of the field of study, must have an entrepreneurial component to have relevance and meaning in the new normal. I Was I Is I Am is a management consulting organization focused on private education in South Africa with over 30 years of professional and senior management experience. The Matric results will be released on 22 February 2021, that is assuming that no further delays are experienced due to the impacts of COVID-19. This essentially means that the academic year has now been adjusted which impacts directly on private colleges. Therefore all processes, systems and operations need to be re-drafted - in essence, this means that we go back to the drawing boards and start from scratch. However, the time span between now and the new registration season is not that far away, and immediate action needs to be taken by owners of private colleges if they want to survive beyond the 2021 academic year. I Was I Is I Am offers its services in conducting a full assessment Pre-COVID and creates scenarios around within COVID and future COVID with appropriate plans and premeditated actions to ensure that the private colleges survive and are financially viable within this global pandemic.
