In the public service, orientation training is conducted at two levels: by departments/ministries for their staff and by the Learning and Development Directorate (L&DD) across the service. Orientation generally is used to provide answers to queries not addressed at recruitment, especially with respect to organisational procedures.
The Learning and Development Directorate’s orientation training provides officers with a broader view of the public service and government. It seeks to provide officers, regardless of their position, with an overview of the structure and functions of the public service and to sensitise them to the importance of their role as public officers. It is a complement to the onboarding process by the People Resourcing and Compliance (PRC) Directorate and orientation provided by each ministry/department.
Target group: All officers who have been employed in the public service for four years or less and who have experienced the onboarding process introduced to the Public Service in October 2019.
Aim: To provide officers, regardless of their position, with an overview of the structure and functions of the public service and to sensitise them to the importance of their role as public officers.
