  3. OVERVIEWSME Forums • Engage profoundly with an important part of the sectors employers, namely companies that are employing between 1 and 50 people • Insufficient data on the structure and the skills requirement of this very part of the sector • In order to design a sound strategy for the engagement of skills development of the sector, a great deal of strategic research has to be conducted in order to put the skills development strategy on sound footing • Gathering and dissemination of comprehensive information on training providers, training provided, and the training needs of SMEs will constitute a critical component of the strategy

  4. TERMS OF REFERENCESpecific Terms of Reference • Consult and share skills development information with MICT stakeholders, with special emphasis on SME involvement • Inform the MICT SETA Sector Skills Plan document in relation to the scarce and critical skills in the sector • Encourage cooperation between levy-payers, non-levy payers and training providers in addressing the skills gaps within the MICT sector

  5. Potential areas of support: KZN- SME Forum • The MICT SETA should provide capacity building on: • accreditation processes • SMS learner uploads • The SETA should identify and support focused and targeted scarce and critical skills within SME sector • Non-levy payers should commit to paying levies once they are allocated Discretionary Grants to ensure sustained participation • The SETA should develop and publish a databank of challenges facing training providers and potential solutions thereof • The SETA should initiate focused partnerships between private and public providers

  6. Qualifications review - Update • Journalism • Film and Media • IT
