The survey form should still be completed for the qualifications & other aspects covered. Feedback of wrong mapping will be reflected in the feedback

12 Organisation Buy-in Determine realistic capacity to choose implementation package: Individual (except Major Group 8) and/or Groups all mining & mineral occupations or only selection Designate resources to manage process internally Sign MOU & attend briefing Complete survey & return forms

13 Criteria for organisations to participate Submit an accurately completed application form MQA-registered organisation with a valid SDL number (or a MQAallocated T for Inter-SETA transfer in process). Must employ people within MMS core occupations i.e. occupations which fall within the scope of the MQA. Quality of the source data that was submitted, specifically the quality of the occupation mapping done. Organisations that did not supply employee information will not be able to opt for individual survey forms, but could still participate by means of the focus group process described above. Willingness to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the MQA that declares the organisation accepts responsibility to manage the project in the organisation

15 MOU undertakings Dedicating personnel to manage the project incl. Project Manager and a dedicated Skills Audit Survey Management Project Team (this may be SDC) Buy-in from labour representatives in the organisation to support and promote the project (in the case of medium and large organisations). Use own people to conduct the discussions in order to complete the survey, depending on the survey option selected this is important as the survey should not be managed by handing forms out and returning them without a discussion between co-workers on output per post and required learning per output. Attend the compulsory MQA briefing and feedback sessions. Manage the project within agreed timelines. Quality assure survey forms before returning them Integrate the generated data with the organisation s HRD data so that it can be easily utilised and maintained going forward.
