Jipsa's identified scarce and priority skills
26-JUL-06
Deputy President Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka who heads the Asgisa and Jipsa initiative has announced that the Jipsa team has identified a list of scarce and priority skills.
These are:
high-level, world-class engineering and planning skills for the ‘network industries’ – transport, communications and energy - all at the core of our infrastructure programme
city, urban and regional planning and engineering skills - desperately needed by our municipalities
artisan and technical skills, with priority attention to those needs for infrastructure development
management and planning skills in education, health and in municipalities
teacher training for mathematics, science, information and communication technologies (ICT) and language competence in public education
specific skills needed by the priority AsgiSA, sectors starting with tourism and business process outsourcing and cross-cutting skills needed by all sectors, especially
finance; project managers and managers in general
skills relevant to the local economic development needs of municipalities, especially developmental economists.
