Lolu shintsho lusheshise ukwamukelwa kwezindlela zokufunda eziqondiswe wena mathupha, ngokuphakama kubantu abaphendukela ezinkundleni zokuxhumana kanye nemisebenzi ye-Do-it-yourself (DIY) ukuze bafunde amakhono amasha, ngokusho kombiko kaMcKinsey wango-2022. Lawa mathrendi akhombisa ukuthanda okwandayo kokuvumelana nezimo nokufunda okusekelwe emakhono. 

Izinkampani zingasebenzisa leli thuba ngokuthuthukisa ukufunda okuqhubekayo ukuze zihehe futhi zigcine ithalente ngempumelelo, uma kubhekwa ukubaluleka okwandayo kokufunda impilo yonke ekuthuthukisweni komsebenzi. Ucwaningo lwango-2022 olwenziwa yi-Google kanye ne-Ipsos ngemfundo ephakeme nezindlela zemisebenzi lwabona ukuxhumana phakathi kwemfundo eqhubekayo nokukhula kochwepheshe, okugqamisa imakethe yemisebenzi eyazisa kakhulu ukufunda okuqhubekayo. Izinyathelo ezinjalo zinikeza indlela yokuthuthuka komsebenzi wangaphakathi, kubhekwane nenkinga yokuthembela ngokweqile ekuqashweni kwangaphandle ukuvala izikhala zamakhono. 

Ngaphezu kwalokho, imfundo ye-inthanethi yenza izinguquko ezinkulu, eqhutshwa ukwanda kwesidingo kanye nezinhlelo ezintsha. Lo mkhakha ubona isimo sokuncintisana lapho amanyuvesi endabuko, izikhondlakhondla zezemfundo ku-inthanethi, kanye nabasanda kungena baqhudelana khona ukuze uthole isabelo semakethe. Lo mncintiswano, ohambisana nokuhlanganiswa kwezimakethe kanye nokwenyuka kokutshalwa kwezimali kwebhizinisi ekuqaleni kobuchwepheshe bezemfundo (edtech), kuphawula isikhathi esibalulekile kubahlinzeki bezemfundo. Kudingeka basebenzise izindlela zokuzivumelanisa namasu ukuze bahlale bebalulekile emakethe ebonakala ngokuguquguquka, engabizi kakhulu, kanye nezinketho zemfundo ezihambisana nomsebenzi.

Umthelela ophazamisayo

Ngokusekela izinhlelo zokufunda eziguquguqukayo, izinkampani zingathuthukisa ukusebenzelana kwabasebenzi nokugcinwa kwazo ngokutshala imali ekuthuthukisweni kwazo kochwepheshe. Le ndlela iphinde ivumele amabhizinisi ukuthi abhekane nezikhala zamakhono ngendlela egculisayo, ahambisane nokuqanjwa kwemboni kanye nokugcina umphetho wokuncintisana. Noma kunjalo, izinkampani zingase zibhekane nezinselele ekuhloleni ikhwalithi nokufaneleka kwemfundo yabasebenzi bazo, okudinga ukuhlolwa ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi ukuqeqeshwa kuhambisana nezidingo namazinga enhlangano.

Khonamanjalo, ohulumeni bangakhuthaza izisebenzi ezifunde kakhulu futhi eziguquguqukayo ngokusebenzisa izinqubomgomo zokufunda eziguquguqukayo, bathuthukise ukuncintisana kwezwe esiteji somhlaba.

• Ukunwetshwa komnotho we-gig njengoba abantu bekhulisa amakhono amasha afundwe ngokufunda okuguquguqukayo ukuze bathathe umsebenzi wokuzisebenzela kanye nomsebenzi wenkontileka.
• Ukwehlukahlukana okukhulu emsebenzini njengoba ukufunda okuguquguqukayo kwenza abantu abavela ezizindeni ezihlukahlukene bathole amakhono amasha futhi bangene ezimbonini ebezingafinyeleleki phambilini.
• Ushintsho kuxhaso lwemfundo ephakeme, ohulumeni nezikhungo ezingase zihlukanise kabusha izinsiza ukuze zisekele izinkundla zokufunda ezivumelana nezimo neziku-inthanethi.

Imibuzo okufanele icatshangelwe

• Ungazivumelanisa kanjani nezinguquko emakethe yezemisebenzi elethwa ukwanda kokufunda okuguquguqukayo?
• Yiziphi izinyathelo umphakathi wangakini ongazithatha ukuze uqinisekise ukufinyelela okulinganayo ezinsizeni zokufunda eziguquguqukayo?
