ISSUES THAT ARE CURRENTLY SHAPING THE COMPETITIVE STRATEGIES OF CONTRACTORS

For a better built environment7

Planned infrastructure drive of government

Government has budget R3,2 trillion in planned infrastructure investment to the year 2020, with R844,5 billion to be spent in the current MTEF period to 2014/15 and R622,8 billion having already been spent in the current MTEF to 2010.

Planned investment will be clustered around 18 Strategic Investment Plans (SIPs) under the co-ordination of the Presidential Investment Coordination Commission (PICC) headed by the President and comprising Provincial Premiers and Local Government Mayors to fast-track and co-ordinate the planned infrastructure projects in 5 to 10 year project pipelines and therefore smooth out construction industry cyclicality.

Proposed solutions regards professional registration

1. A workplace training programme that links to professional registration.

2. A framework to understand and monitor what happens at the workplace – no information on every graduate or candidate regarding where they are doing in the workplace; including proper training plans, host workplace checklists, mentors training and agreements and rotation of candidate to cover core areas.

3. A quality assured, transparent candidacy programme and an unbiased and uniform assessment process of candidates at each professional council.

4. Packaging incentives for employers who take on candidates and trainees.

5. Educating the unregistered BE graduates on the importance of registration.

6. Transformation Implementation model to address skills development based interventions.

7. Workplace Training Implementation model to address quality assured workplace training that is linked to professional registration – starting with the BE graduates in the public sector and unemployed graduates.
