Introduction of Core Skills Framework • SIAP (Primary reason): to identify what skills SIAP should provide training on. • NSO (Other uses): to identify which additional skills are needed by NSO staff to improve their organizational performance. • Individual Staff of NSOs: to manage their own professional development and identify what skills they need to improve their job performance • Descriptions in CSF can be used to decide on the skill requirement: • for each Level for career path developments and • for each subject area for training content/curriculum designing 14
Core Skills Framework • Core skills framework was used to identify the skills required by NSO’s; grouped into 3 main types • Core statistical skills • Specialist statistical skills • Statistical management skills • Skills levels: • Level 1: Clerical Support • Level 2: Core skill –level 2 – (Compiler) • Level 3: Core skill –level 3 – (Analyst) • Level 4: Core skill –level 2 – (Senior Analyst) • Level 5: Core skill –level 2 – (Supervisory) 15

What Are The Problems Which Need To Be Addressed? • The need for training is greater than what can be supplied by SIAP • Training programmes in single subject matter areas limits the improvement in capability of those being trained • Training needed in new areas • More training programmes for skills development at higher levels are needed 18 18
