Scarce and Top Up Skills Definitions: • Top up Skills refer to skills that are required by employed people who could not perform at the required level of competence because of skills gaps. • Scarce Skills refer to occupations that have a current or anticipated shortage of qualified and experienced people. • Scarce Skills are further divided into relative and absolute scarcity.
Scarce and Top Up Skills Relative Scarcity • This happens when required people are available somewhere in the country to fill the skills shortage, but do not meet other employment criteria such as: • Geographiclocation - experienced mostly in rural areas because many qualified people are not willing to relocate to. • Equity criteria - people are available but do not meet equity criteria. • High level workexperience - qualified people exist but do not have high level of previous experience needed.
Scarce Skills Absolute scarcity • This happens when there are no people to meet skills shortage because of the following reasons: • It is a new occupation and training providers have not yet developed a learning programme for it. • Learning programmes do exist for skills shortage but not enough learnershave enrolled for it.
Scarce Skills • The scarce and top up skills are derived from WSPs submitted by organizations. • Scarce skills do not reflect individual organisation’s skills needs, but does list the sectoral skills needs aggregated from all WSP’s.
