Purpose of developing the online system: To obtain credible , valid and auditable information on all employees at member companies, their competencies, training needs, demographics, company training spend, and how to

  • ptimally allocate CHIETA funding, monitor progress, etc. Online system must be used to

access CHIETA funding. Another solution available for small companies. Therefore we needed to have available: Source Data Collection from the HR desks at companies to obtain:

  • Occupation Profiles

BUILDING A VALUE-CHAIN DRIVEN OFO CODING BASED CREDIBLE MECHANISM FOR SKILLS PLANNING

  • Occupation Profiles
  • Employee Job Profiles
  • Business Unit Matrices
  • Skills Audit information for future planning
  • Career Guide
  • Individual worker development and Organisation Development Plans for growth pathways

To get a full understanding of who is being trained for what, by who, where, when and what more is needed for the company and its employees to create a skilled and capable workforce for the South African economy. CHIETA in 2015/16 has individual employee information of approx 165,000 workers biographical details, qualification information, occupation, gaps in occupation, etc.

Demand driven partnerships model

UNESCO (2012) provided clarification by defining human capital TVET provisioning as follows:

  • ‘demand-driven’, and its curriculum as ‘competency-based’. It is further

emphasised that:

  • “Competency-based training pays more attention to learners and their ability to
  • master practical tasks and to acquire competences than to the level or type of
  • master practical tasks and to acquire competences than to the level or type of
  • certification, or the length of training….It is developed in accordance with

identified skills needs derived from the workplace” (UNESCO, 2012:16).

  • To orient TVET towards skills demands of the economy and the society at

large, there should be strong partnerships and collaborations with sectoral

  • rganizations, business associations and chambers of commerce, employer

associations, and other government departments

  • (UNESCO, 2012 and Maclean and Pavlova, 2013).

Examples of CHIETA Conceptualized and Facilitated Partnerships

  • Gratitude to the EThekwini municipality for its support and the ongoing partnership

to grow and deepen the impact of the Durban Chemicals Cluster. Support from the province of KwaZulu-Natal via its investment promotion agency Trade and Investment KwaZulu-Natal

  • The Industrial Development Corporation’s support to new entrants, expanding

cannot be underestimated

  • Department of Trade and Industry acknowledged.
  • Policy makers and bureaucrats must act appropriately to support the sector while

firms must ensure that their competitive performance is truly world-class while also investing in their people, research and development and seeking new markets for their products amongst other competing priorities.

  • Economic activity is undoubtedly under pressure both locally and globally.

Encourage all attendees to critically engage and explore the opportunities to grow the sector through developing greater levels of partnership on the African continent.
