Priority Skills List MICT SETA Focus
CONTENTS • Approach to development of Priority Skills List • Key Skills Issues • Skills Demands • Skills Priority Actions
Approach to the development of Priority Skills List Review of previous SSP and identification of gaps Field Research Desk Research Interviews Survey Literature review Analysis by Focus Groups and consolidation Final review and sign off
Drivers of Change The listed below should not be viewed as exclusive, but rather, a condensed view of the key drivers of change within the sector.
Demand for skills Scarce skills: occupations where employers experience difficulties recruiting qualified people.
Priority Skills list development: Methodology The development of the Priority Skills list follows a process that involves: • Analysis of submitted Workplace Skills Plans (WSPs) • Weighted against: • the total number of levy-paying employers • the number of times an occupation was identified as scarce in the WSPs • reasons for scarcity • Developments in the sector, emerging trends as well as future skills needs • Occupations identified as scarce skills per sub-sector during interviews
Concluding Considerations • The MICT sector’s dynamism and constant technological flux require adept training and upskilling (programmes) if the sector has to remain competitive • The high proportion of SME within the sector calls for continued focus on SME development to support sustainable creation of employment and growth • Continued rural reach has become imperative to expanding inclusion and increasing access to occupationally-directed programmes to the previously disadvantaged communities.
