Labour-Intensive Construction (LIC) Orientation Training Course: Learner Manual

A learner manual for the Labour-Intensive Construction (LIC) Orientation Training Course, designed to build the knowledge and skills of technical and non-technical officials involved in South Africa’s Expanded Public Works Programme. It supports effective employment-intensive construction practices through practical, accessible and adult-learning-focused training materials.

The redevelopment of the existing LIC orientation training into a full package of new materials, including a Trainer Manual, a Learner Manual, PowerPoint slides, an Assessment & Evaluation Guide, and Reference Manual/Source Material, is a great step towards ensuring that all participants receive high quality, engaging training that reflects adult-learning principles.

LIC orientation training and capacity building are key activities in the EPWP’s infrastructure sector. They are conducted for technical and non-technical officials to provide knowledge transfer and skills development.

The training aims to be a standalone, self-guided resource that a trainer can use to easily deliver the material to learners, primarily in a face to-face setting, but with adaptations provided for online delivery.
