A subject orientation workshop will be held for all Western Cape teachers of Engineering Graphics and Design and teachers of Civil Technology during the June 2008 school holidays. The workshops will deal with the new subject assessment requirements and will focus on the development of a practical assessment task.
The training will take place in the Eden & Karoo District, the Cape Winelands District and the Cape Town metropolitan area. Venues and times will be announced once interest in the course has been established and a service provider appointed.
