Thesis (MTech(Education))--Cape Technikon, Cape Town,1998 / This study investigates the industry component of cooperative
education programmes in Clothing as offered by
the Clothing Department at the Cape Technikon relevant to
the Western Cape.
The character and nature of co-operative education came
under general scrutiny. The structure of any cooperative
educational program consists of two components;
the academic and the industry component. Within this
structure, a few attendance patterns are used to employ
students in industry. This employment of students
bridges the gap between the academic component and
practice. The co-ordinator of co-operative education is
responsible for the supervision over and application of
specific tasks to ensure the successful completion of the
industry component. The professional tasks include the
identification and recruiting of workstations, the
placement of students, the orientation of both the
employer and student, the monitoring of the students'
progress, as well as the evaluation of the students'
work. The important role of the advisory committee
cannot be underestimated in order to ensure successful
completion of the co-operative educational programs. It
should be properly constituted with specific functions
with regards to the industry component.
A qualitative study was undertaken to describe the course
of the current industry experience in Clothing at the
Cape Technikon. Discussion forums, personal interviews
and a literature study serve as the foundation of this
investigation.
