Relevance of Scarce Skills Survey
• Success indicator 1.2: “Information on critical skills is widely available to learners ..... “
• Success indicator 2.8: “ .... workers assisted to enter and .... complete programmes, including learnerships and apprenticeships, leading to basic entry, intermediate and high level scarce skills.”
• Success indicator 4.1: “ .... unemployed people assisted to enter and .... complete programmes, including learnerships and apprenticeships, leading to basic entry, intermediate and high level scarce skills.”
Why focus on Scarce Skills?
• International evidence demonstrates that a scarcity of skills tends to:– Lower productivity growth.– Raise costs and inflate wages.– Lower quality of services and products At a national
level unemployment and poverty alleviation are addressed through providing strategies to address scarce skills that currently block economic growth and employment creation.
Concepts
• Defining Scarce and Critical Skills (p 5-7)• Key Stakeholder Partnerships• Purpose:
– Provide the information required for completing Chapter 4 of the Five Year Sector Skills Plan (SSP) as well as Annual Updates to be submitted by 31 August of each year.
– Serve as a base for the identification and impact analysis of strategies designed and implemented to address scarce skills.
