NATIONAL SCARCE SKILLS LIST 2007

INPUTS TOWARDS STUDENT ENROLMENT PLAN FOR 2009 – 2013

DEFINITIONS FOR SCARCE AND CRITICAL SKILLS

“SCARCE” is linked to an occupation/qualification

The definition of scarce is the absolute or relative demand: current or in future; for skilled; qualified and experienced people to fill particular roles/professions, occupations or specializations in the labour market.

“Critical” is the capability needed within an occupation, for example, general management skills, communication and customer handling ski8lls, team-work skills, etc.

The Department of Labour has also included a differentiation between absolute and relative scarcity of skills in the definition:

Absolute Scarcity	refers to suitably skilled people who are not available in the labour market. Specific contexts in which absolute scarcities may arise include:

A new or emerging occupation, i.e. there are few, if any, people in the country with the requisite skills.

Firms, sectors and even the national economy are unable to implement planned growth strategies because productivity, service delivery and quality problems are directly attributable to a lack of skilled people.

Replacement demand would reflect an absolute scarcity where there are not people enrolled or engaged in the process of acquiring skills that need to be replaced.

Relative scarcity refers, for example, to the context where suitably skilled people are in fact available in the labour market but they do not exhibit other employment criteria, for example:

High-level work experience, for example project management of large construction sites such as dams or power plants.

Geographical location, for example, people are unwilling to work outside of urban areas.

Equity consideration, for example, there are few if any candidates with the requisite skills from specific groups available to meet the skills requirements of firms and enterprises.

PROCESS OF DEVELOPING THE NATIONAL SCARCE SKILLS LIST

STUDENT ENROLMENT PLAN

SETAs had identified scarcity using the above definitions and through a process of research and stakeholder consultation. The Department acknowledges that this first Scarce Skills List is an indicative list. In keeping with the Department’s adoption of a labour market demand signaling system and process, the List consists of occupational titles against which scarcity has been identified. Numbers have not been assigned to the scarcity except for the purpose of the Work Permit Quota List to be published by the Department of Home Affairs.

The Department is currently already engaged in a process of updating this first List based on SETA’s Sector Skills Plan Updates. The scarce skills information reflected in these Plans and mechanisms for identifying scarcity have been improved through the experience and lessons learnt during the development of the first List and it is the intention of the Department to assist SETAs to ensure that the scarce skills signaling processes and data are substantively updated, reliable and serve their sectoral and national purposes.

PURPOSE OF THE NATIONAL SCARCE SKILLS LIST

The List is intended to serve several purposes:

The national list provides a set of indicators for the skills development interventions.

The list provides a set of indicators for course development and career guidance that should be provided to learners at Universities of technology.

The list provides a basis for establishing the Work Permit Quota List and for evaluating employer-sponsored applications for work permits.

The list begins to provide a platform for targeted interventions and the development of mechanisms to monitor and evaluate both the success and impact of measures aimed at redressing particular scarcities.

Given that the purpose of the list is to identify trend and appropriate interventions, the relative ‘amount’ of scarcity is indicated as a rounded, aggregate figure. This method has been used to ensure that the National Scarce Skills List remains a central device reflecting the Department of Labour’s approach to labour market trends analysis for skills development and not a device for uncritical manpower planning.

It must be noted that the rounded, approximate figures reflect an order of magnitude and not the potential negative impact on growth and development. For example, the magnitude of scarcity for economic development policy and planning skills may be less than 50 while the inability to address the scarcity may result in unsustainable local economic development accompanied by increased poverty and unemployment in the particular locality.
