Simulation Centre
simulation/practical training is as close as possible to the real thing, but no money and no actual products/services change hands. The simulated economy results in a natural flow of typical business operations. This ensures that students must respond to external or incoming communications (e.g. paying an account or processing an order). They must also generate internal operations (e.g. processing salary slips, engaging in marketing activities, paying over unemployment insurance funds (UIF) and pay-as-you-earn taxation (PAYE) amounts to avoid penalties) to ensure the continued existence of the business.
The benefits of the Simulation Centre for students are
- Skills orientated training
- Learning by doing
- Work-ready for work
- Applying classroom theory
- Gain entrepreneurial skills
- Better equipped for the working environment
- Development of key skills e.g. teamwork, communication skills, crisis management, decision making etc.
