In quest to advance these people, training interventions have become imperative in supporting affirmative action appointees to enable them to function effectively. Since advancement of these categories have been legislated, in this book, a determination is made on the training interventions implemented by Mpumalanga public hospitals.

In the context of the findings, appropriate suggestions are made in order to ensure that there are strides made by beneficiaries. Training interventions are aimed at assisting all those people appointed on the basis of affirmative action to succeed in their endeavors and this can be handy for the managers and mentors.
