Abstract
Abstract:
The prime objective of contractor development programmes (CDP) is to assist Small Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) to improve their management skills and performance levels to that of established firms. However literature informs that some of these programmes have not achieved their intended objectives with one of the causes of this failure being the mismatch between contractors’ expectations and what is being offered as a development programme. Contractors have highlighted some gaps in the programmes which if addressed could assist in eliminating some of their concerns.
