4 FOREWORD ETDP SETA CEO Nombulelo Sesi Nxesi It is, once more, with great pleasure to provide you with an updated version of the Scarce and Critical Skills Guide. Scarce skills are those occupations in which there is a scarcity of qualified and experienced people, currently or anticipated in the future, either (a) because such skilled people are not available or (b) they are available but do not meet employment criteria. Scarcity often manifests itself in an inability to fill positions over prolonged periods of time, above average growth in remuneration and the inability of small organisations and rural areas to attract skilled people. Critical Skills refer to particular capabilities needed within an occupation, for example, general management skills, communication and customer handling skills, teamwork skills, problem solving (cognitive skills), communication (e.g., language and literacy skills) and technology skills. Our Country is confronted, amongst other challenges, by the high rate of unemployment. Whilst we understand that the major cause of unemployment is structural, the skills shortages cannot be ignored. The Guide is made available to you to ensure that we do not train for the sake of training. We need to understand the skills needs and shortages in the labour market. The Guide therefore provides a list of scarce and critical skills that should begin to address the challenges we face in our country. are based on constituency-specific skills needs as agreed in the ETDP SETA Annual Performance Plan. The positive support by constituencies in various SETA initiatives continues to be appreciated. Best regards, Nombulelo Sesi Nxesi Chief Executive Officer I would like to sincerely thank everyone who has been involved in the process of developing this version of the Guide. The ETDP SETA aims to reduce skills shortages that must be addressed leading to reduced unemployment and ensuring skills development is a catalyst to enable a thriving, productive and healthy economy and stable nation. As part of our mandate, we, as the ETDP SETA, continue to strive for excellence to ensure that skills provision in the ETD sector is demand-led and that identified training interventions Page 4 ETDP SETA Scarce and Critical Skills Guide 2014

6 1. Introduction The ETDP SETA Scarce and Critical Skills Guide is updated and disseminated annually amongst its constituencies and beneficiaries. The purpose of the Guide is to provide an updated overview of the scarce and critical skills in the ETD Sector, particularly to key constituencies and beneficiaries including employers, learners/students, policy-makers, ETD providers, sector specialists and skill development facilitators (SDFs). The ETDP SETA uses the information of scarce and critical skills in the development of the Sector Skills Plan (SSP) and the recommendations in the SSP help to inform the decisions of the ETDP SETA regarding skills development priorities. The ETDP SETA, like other SETAs, bears the responsibility of effectively communicating information on scarce and critical skills to the sector constituencies and beneficiaries. The data on scarce and critical skills has been analysed according to the Organising Framework for Occupations (OFO) codes 2013 in terms of constituency and provincial breakdown based on Work Skills Planning and Reporting (WSPR) submissions. This information provides the basis for understanding skills development needs aimed at addressing skills shortages/vacancies, improving productivity in the workplace and addressing the human resource requirements in the ETD sector labour market. The ETDP SETA s funded interventions reflect the SETA s strategy and commitment to the sector to address the identified scarce and critical skills. Key amongst the challenges to be addressed in the ETD Sector is the need to improve the skills of teaching and lecturing staff across the sector. 1.1 Methodology The process of collecting data was informed by the WSPRs submissions from employers across all ETDP SETA constituencies. However, it should be noted that not all constituencies have adequate baseline data through WSPRs submissions. During the capturing process all occupations were coded according to the corresponding OFO Code 2013 version and where there were challenges with occupational codes, gap areas were identified in the analysis. The process helped to identify occupations that do not currently exist on the OFO Code 2013 version. This requires a formal submission to the Department of Higher Education to request such occupations to be updated and included. The scarce and critical skills data from the WSPRs was analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) after data was extracted and organised per constituency, province and size. The process of ensuring accurate data required a number of quality checks which included validating OFO Codes, constituency, province and size of the constituency. This was to ensure that data was reliable and valid. The initial analysis focused on confirming scarce and critical skills in the ETD Sector followed by analysis per province and at constituency levels. 1.2 About the ETDP SETA Scope of Authority The primary legislative mandate of the ETDP SETA is to: address skills shortages in South Africa by identifying the skills needs in the ETD sector. facilitate the up-skilling of both the employed and unemployed citizens. assess and monitor learners progress and ensure that they successfully complete their programmes and are certified as competent to compete in the workplace and/or find suitable employment. The ETD Sector consists of a diverse number of constituencies. These constituencies do not only differ vastly in size, but also in terms of the diversity of activities in which they are involved and each with different skills development needs. The ETDP SETA has the following constituencies: Page 6 ETDP SETA Scarce and Critical Skills Guide 2014

8 Our investment in education will continue, as it is the primary instrument that will lift our people out of poverty and take our country forward to prosperity President Jacob Zuma Counsellors, and Sector Specialists can use to disseminate information on scarce and critical skills in the ETD sector; Inform employers about the scarce and critical skills needs which are used to guide discretionary funding; Provide ETD sector service providers with information needed to strategically align their services with the skills need of the ETD sector; Inform learners, constituencies, and other stakeholders about scarce and critical skills in the ETD sector; Promote a greater awareness of career opportunities in the ETD sector amongst prospective learners, constituencies and other stakeholders; 2.2 Who is the Guide for? This Guide has been compiled for those who wish to know more about skills development needs and potential career opportunities in the ETD sector, signalled through the identified scarce and critical skills. The Guide assists different groups of individuals namely practitioners (including Skills Development Facilitators, Sector Specialists) in the development of workplace skills audits and submission of WSPRs; service providers who deliver training interventions to adult learners with respect to scarce and critical skills needs; employers (including public and private sector) in order to strategically plan in the short, medium and long term and to address national and sector priorities as an organisation; employed workers with reference to top-up skills to improve their productivity; and unemployed people who seek careers linked to scarce skills in the ETD sector. 2.3 What do Beneficiaries use this Guide for? Learners and unemployed use this Guide to: Develop an understanding of the ETD sector, as a basis for planning a career and selecting a field of study; Consider a career in any of the scarce skills - these are occupations in which they are more likely to find employment; and Select education and training providers, and enquire how their programmes align to the identified skills needs in the sector Providers use this Guide to: Understand scarce and critical skills in the sector and use them as opportunities and areas of focus and growth; Evaluate current programmes, to see whether they address skills needs; Explore top-up programmes in areas listed under critical skills; and Advise learners on career planning in the ETD sector Skills Development Facilitators (SDFs) Practitioners/Sector Specialists use this guide to: Develop informed WSPRs (Public or Private template); Undertake a careful analysis of the scarce and critical skills required by their organisations; Plan ahead for the scarce and critical skills categories; Advise current and future employees as to the career opportunities within the ETD sector; Identify both specific and generic skills required in various occupations; Initiate collaboration with partners for a variety of skills needs; Page 8 ETDP SETA Scarce and Critical Skills Guide 2014

The Framework for Identifying and Monitoring Scarce and Critical Skills (2005, p. 6) describes scarce skills as those occupations in which there is a scarcity of qualified and experienced people, currently or anticipated in the future, either (a) because such skilled people are not available or (b) they are available but do not meet employment criteria. The framework further provides a distinction between absolute and relative scarcity. Absolute scarcity refers to suitably skilled people who are not available in the labour market to meet a skills shortage and may be due to any new or emerging occupation, lack of suitably qualified people or insufficient numbers of people enrolled in programmes to meet the new demands. Relative scarcity refers to suitably skilled people available in the labour market but who may not necessarily have a high level of work experience, may not be located within a specific geographical location and equity considerations. Scarcity often manifests itself in an inability to fill positions over prolonged periods of time, above average growth in remuneration and the inability of small organisations and rural areas to attract skilled people. 3.2 What are Critical Skills? According to the Framework for Identifying and Monitoring Scarce and Critical Skills [DHET, 2005, p.7], critical skills refer to particular capabilities needed within an occupation, for example, general management skills, communication and customer handling skills, teamwork skills, problem solving [cognitive skills], communication [e.g., language and literacy skills] and technology skills. Scarce skills are addressed by equipping people with registered qualifications on the national qualifications framework (NQF) such as degrees, diplomas or certificates or part qualifications, while critical skills can be acquired through registered part-qualifications or nonregistered short courses which can include individual modules within a qualification. 3.3 Why focus on Scarce and Critical skills? Many analysts regard poor skills levels as the most important because of South Africa s high unemployment rate. One explanation frequently offered for South Africa s high levels of unemployment is the shortage of skills. While it is important to address the very low skills levels among the unemployed, it is equally important to increase the country s supply of skilled people (CDE Report, 2011). Research has shown that South Africa needs skilled immigrants, and the immigration of skilled people has improved in the past five years. 3.4 Understanding the Organising Frameworkofor Occupations [OFO] The Organisation Framework for Occupations (OFO) is a skill-based coded classification system, which encompasses all occupations in the South African context. DHET requires all stakeholders across all SETAs to utilise the OFO Version 2013 in the compilation of Sector Skills Plan (SSP) update and the skills demand list to enable the identification of trends across all economic sectors. According to the Page 9 ETDP SETA Scarce and Critical Skills Guide 2014

10 Framework for Identifying and Monitoring Scarce and Critical Skills, skill is defined as the ability to perform competently the roles and tasks associated with an occupation. On the other hand, an occupation is seen as a set of jobs or specializations whose main tasks are characterized by such a high degree of similarity that they can be grouped together for the purposes of the classification. Both scarce and critical skills must be identified at the occupational level, with scarce skills being considered against the occupation itself and critical skills being reflected as specific skills within the occupation. Table 3.1 provides an indicative comparison between the skill level of occupational groups and the National Qualifications Framework, levels from 1-10 as well as the entry, intermediate and advanced levels referred to in the National Skills Development Strategy. Table 3.1: Understanding the Organising Frame Work for Occupation (OFO) NSDS NQF Level Skill Level OFO Major Groups High Professionals 1 Managers Intermediate Technicians and Associate Professionals Clerical Support Workers Entry 3 5 Service and Sales Workers 6 Skilled Agricultural, Forestry, Fishery, Craft & Related Trades Workers Elementary Occupations 1 7 Plant and Operators and Assemblers 3.5 PIVOTAL Programme According to the SETA Grant Regulations, Government Gazette No of 3 December 2012, PIVOTAL is an acronym that refers to professional, vocational, technical and academic learning programmes that result in a qualification or part qualification which is registered on the National Qualifications Framework, as contemplated in regulation 3(6) and (7) as read with regulation to (15). The SETAs made a submission to the DHET to consider accepting internships, workplace experience, as PIVOTAL. This process led to the revision of the new Guidelines on the Implementation of SETA Grant Regulations, which allows for SETAs to be creative because all sectors are different. PIVOTAL programmes address scarce and critical skills needs that lead to a full or part qualification registered on the NQF. Types of PIVOTAL Programmes include: Professional programmes We love all South African children. Every child is a national asset. Vocational programmes Technical programmes Academic programmes Internships (leading towards a qualification) Workplace experience (with a qualification) Credit bearing short course which form part of a registered qualification.

12 4. Participation of the ETD Employers in the Mandatory Grants Process According to Section 3 of SDLA [Act No. 9 of 1999], employers must pay a SDL at a rate of 1% of the levy amount. The amount of remuneration referred above does not include any amount - (a) paid or payable to any person by way of pension, superannuation allowance or retiring allowance; and (b) payable to a learner [includes an apprentice] in terms of a contract of employment contemplated in section 18 (3) of SDA. Figure 5.1 (below) shows that the majority of submissions were from Gauteng (n=391), Limpopo (n=300), and Western Cape (n=269) respectively. This was followed by KwaZulu-Natal (n=140), Eastern Cape (n=70), North West (n=42), Mpumalanga (n=36), Free State (n=23) and the Northern Cape (n=5). Figure 4.1: WSPR Submissions by Province Eastern Cape Free State Gauteng KwaZulu Natal Limpopo Mpumalanga North West Northern Cape Western Cape Source: ETDP SETA Workplace Skills Plans (N = 1276) Figure 4.2 shows that the majority of the submissions were from the School Governing Bodies (n=380), followed by Early Childhood Development (n=333), Independent Schools (n=204).

Our teachers should work in decent schools which are conducive There are a myriad of factors that affect the way the ETD sector as a whole, and each individual ETDP SETA constituency, address issues relating to supply and demand of skills. This section contains the lists of scarce and critical skills and focuses on the specific occupations in which scarce and critical skills occurred in the sector. The section also provides scarce and critical skills information per province and constituency. Tables 5.1 and 5.2 respectively provide lists of scarce and critical skills that were identified through the analysis of the WSPRs submissions received from the constituent ETDP SETA employers. It is well-known that the education sector is experiencing serious skills shortages and there is a need to support the goals of the Department of Basic Education (DBE) Action Plan 2014, which aims to attract in each year, a new group of young, motivated and appropriately trained teachers into the profession; and improving the professionalism, teaching skills, subject knowledge and computer literacy of teachers throughout their entire careers (DBE Action Plan ). The need to ensure unemployed graduates are adequately trained and prepared for the workplace to ensure that they can become absorbed into workplaces across the schooling and post-schooling sectors. to learning and teaching.

The tables below summarise the ETDP SETA performance in the implementation of programme seven (7).

Advocacy drives conducted in provinces. 4 occupational qualifications developed and completed workforce is an indispensable part of any viable strategy to tackle poverty and unemployment Dr Blade Nzimande 6.1 ETDP SETA Skills Programmes and Interventions The ETDP SETA is implementing a number of skills development programmes to strategically respond to the needs of its constituencies. These include: Learnerships Skills programmes Internships Workplace Experience Programme Qualifications Learnerships A learnership is a learning programme registered with the DHET which consists of a structured learning component, a practical work experience component of a specified nature and duration, and which leads to a qualification registered on the NQF which is related to an occupation (SAQA, 2014). Learnerships form the cornerstone of the National Skills Development Page 55 ETDP SETA Scarce and Critical Skills Guide 2014

56 Strategy (NSDS) because they are essential in aligning education and training initiatives more closely with the labour market needs. Learnership qualification components consist of: Structured learning component; and Practical experience component Part Qualifications A part qualification is an assessed unit of learning with a clearly defined purpose that is, or will be, registered as part of a qualification on the NQF (SAQA, 2014). Skills programmes implemented by the ETDP SETA include both primary focus and non-primary focus programmes, many of which are based on the national scarce and critical skills and the needs of constituent employers. Skills programmes only relate to occupationally based programmes and when completed may constitute a qualification programme on the NQF Primary Focus: Part Qualifications Primary focus skills programmes, meaning QCTO - accredited learning programmes, are quality assured by the ETDP SETA ETDQA and are key skills programmes within the ETD sector. The skills programmes are also linked to scarce or critical skills identified by the ETDP SETA. The following are examples of part qualifications: Guide learners about their learning, assessment and recognition opportunities: This skills programme provides recognition for individuals who perform or intend to perform one-on-one training on the job. Formal recognition enhances employability and also provides a means of identifying competent trainers or coaches. Once completed, learners will be able to prepare for one-to-one training on the job, conduct training sessions, monitor and report on learner progress and review training. Conduct outcome-based assessment: This skills programme is geared towards those who assess people on their achievement of learning outcomes in terms of specified criteria, using pre-designed assessment instruments. The outcomes and criteria may be defined in a range of documents, including but not limited to unit standards, exit level outcomes, assessment standards, curriculum statements and qualifications. Those who complete this skills programme will be able to conduct assessments within their fields of expertise in a fair, valid, reliable and practicable manner that is free of all bias and discrimination. During assessments, particular attention should be paid to the three groups targeted for redress, namely race, gender and disability. Conduct moderation of outcome-based assessments: This skills programme enables beneficiaries to moderate assessments in terms of the relevant outcome statements and quality assurance requirements. The qualified moderator is able to use the prescribed quality assurance procedures in a fair, valid, reliable and practicable manner that is free of all bias and discrimination. During assessments, particular attention is paid to the three groups targeted for redress, namely race, gender and disability. Skills Development Facilitation: The SDF skills programme is aimed at people who intend to conduct analyses to determine outcomes of learning for the purposes of defining skills needs at organisational level and/or to identify assessment standard titles at industry or sub-sector level. Furthermore, the programme also addresses the initiation and Page 56 ETDP SETA Scarce and Critical Skills Guide 2014

57 implementation of training and development plans for organisations. People who benefit from this skills programme include SDFs, training managers and HR development practitioners. Facilitation of Learning: Facilitation of Learning provides recognition for those who facilitate or intend to facilitate learning, using a variety of methodologies. Formal recognition enhances employability, but also provides a means to identify competent learning facilitators. The programme includes training on planning and preparing for facilitation, facilitating learning, and evaluating learning and facilitation. Material and Curriculum Development Training: This skills programme enables learners to design outcome-based learning programmes and develop materials for a group of learners in a selected learning area, with reference to relevant unit standards and using a variety of available sources Non-Primary Focus Learning Programmes Learning that takes place in all contexts in life - formally, non-formally and informally. It includes learning behaviours and obtaining knowledge, understanding, attitudes, values and competencies for personal growth, and social economic well-being. Non-Primary Learning Programmes assist constituencies in obtaining the identified scarce and critical skills that are not ETDP SETA s primary focus, meaning that the skills programmes are based on unit standards not quality-assured by the ETDQA. The ETDP SETA offers a range of non-primary focus skills programmes to its constituent members. This endeavour not only guarantees a continuous supply of skilled workers but also ensures that unemployed learners receive the necessary training to increase their chances of employability in the ETD sector. 6.2 Internships The ETDP SETA Internship programme is a work experience programme targeting unemployed individuals. The programme gives individuals workplace experience or an opportunity to practice the work skills that they have studied and will practice in future. It is a planned, structured, and managed programme that provides work experience for a twelve month period for people with the following qualifications: National Senior Certificate National Diploma National 1st Degree Honours Degree Masters Degree PhD 6.3 Bursaries The ETDP SETA bursary programme is aimed at giving opportunities for workers and the unemployed in the ETD sector in entering and gaining qualifications in scarce or critical skills such as mathematics, science, technology, accounting, geography and economics. 6.4 Workplace Experience The workplace experience programme provides opportunities for learners to gain exposure and interactions required to practise the integration of knowledge, skills and attitude required in the workplace. Such workplacebased learning assists learners to gain work experience leading towards a Page 57 ETDP SETA Scarce and Critical Skills Guide 2014

58 qualification or part qualification. For higher education this is refered to as Work Integrated Learning (WIL). The programme assists learners in finding employment as well as equips them to become self-employed. The ETDP SETA provides work experience grants, thus allowing learners to gain work experience in the ETD sector workplaces. 6.5 Qualifications (Current) The ETDP SETA also supports a range of registered NQF qualifications that contribute to the advancement of skills development in the ETD sector. Table 6.2 below provides a detailed list of qualifications that are currently quality assured by the ETDP SETA delegated by the QCTO. Live as if you were to die tomorrow.

62 Summary This Guide outlines the skills development needs informed by scarce and critical skills across the different ETDP SETA constituencies. The information provided in the Guide is intended to inform planning and the development of programmes aimed at supporting the scarce and critical skills needs identified in the sector so that relevant skills sets can be addressed through appropriate skills development interventions. There is a need to ensure relevant curriculum and/or programmes, especially those linked to PIVOTAL programmes, are developed to support such skills needs. Further, the Guide can be used to provide information on scarce skills to further support career guidance information to learners across different contexts. The information is also intended to meet both employer needs as well as provincial, constituency and broader national imperatives, in order to address the needs of the South African economy. Furthermore, it is intended to meet the diverse needs and aspirations of those working in, or interested in the ETD sector, including aspirant learners who are considering a career in the ETD sector.
