Abstract
This chapter will explore the extent to which the ambitious goals of the National Skills Development Strategy (NSDS), are being realised. It does so by examining the findings and trends of six research studies or surveys conducted between 1999-2002, which have tried to capture volumes of training (of different sorts) in the private sector. The chapter also suggests key indicators that characterise enterprise training in the country, indicators that will ultimately determine the success of the NSDS.-
