ABSTRACT
Globalisation and a continuous advancement in technology have
necessitated a need for employees to be trained and re-trained. The purpose
of this study was to determine the factors that influence learner participation
in the Adult Basic Education and Training programmes offered at the
Johannesburg Department of City Power (Reuven). These include factors
such as motivation, retention and barriers experienced by adult learners that
are pertinent to learner participation. Data for the study was collected from
ABET level 3 and 4 learners by means of semi-structured interviews and
focus group discussions. The following emerged as pertinent factors
influencing learner participation at City Power: a) personal development, b)
language, c) support structures, d) the standby/shift system and e)
remuneration.
