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.
