FOREWORD
It is, once more, with great pleasure
to provide you with an updated
version of the Scarce and Critical
Skills Guide.
ETDP SETA CEO
Nombulelo Sesi Nxesi
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.
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,
______________________

Chief Executive Officer
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.
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

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)
2014-2015 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.
1.1Methodology
The process of collecting data was
informed by the 2014-2015 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

Scarce and Critical Skills
3.1
What are Scarce Skills?
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
Pa ge 9 E T DP S E TA S ca rc e a n d Cr it ica l S k ills G u id e 2 0 1 4
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.

3.5 PIVOTAL Programme
According to the SETA Grant Regulations, Government Gazette No. 35940
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
•
Vocational programmes
•
Technical programmes
African children.
•
Academic programmes
•
Internships (leading towards a qualification)
•
Workplace experience (with a qualification)
•
Credit bearing short course which form part of a registered
qualification.
Every child is a
national asset.”

Participation of the ETD Employers in the Mandatory Grants Process 2014-15
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

Scarce and Critical Skills in the ETD Sector
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.
“Our children
should be taught in
decent schools. Our
teachers should work
in decent schools
which are conducive
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 2014-2019). 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.”

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
6.1.1Learnerships
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
Pa ge 5 5 E T DP S E TA S ca rc e a n d Cr it ica l S k ills G u id e 2 0 1 4
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
6.1.2 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.
6.1.3
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
Pa ge 5 6 E T DP S E TA S ca rc e a n d Cr it ica l S k ills G u id e 2 0 1 4
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.
6.1.4
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
6.3Bursaries
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
Pa ge 5 7 E T DP S E TA S ca rc e a n d Cr it ica l S k ills G u id e 2 0 1 4
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.

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.
