  1. MERSETA STRATEGY FORMULATION - THE CENTRAL ROLE OF THE SECTOR SKILLS PLAN (SSP) LEADERS IN CLOSING THE SKILLS GAP

  2. Legislation underpinning SSP • Section 10 (1) (a) and (b) of the Skills Development Act No 97 of 1998 (as amended): • SETA must develop a SSP • Implement its SSP by: • establishing learning programmes • approving workplace skills plans and annual training reports • allocate grants • monitor education and skills development provision in the sector This legal stipulation clearly shows that any activity related to implementing education and skills development interventions and incentives must be based on the sector skills plan

  3. Other regulatory stipulations • Alignment with national strategic, human resource and skills development priorities: NSDS III (2011-2016),the National Development Plan (2030), New Growth Path (NGP), Industrial Policy Action Plan (IPAP) and the National Human Resources Development Strategy South Africa (2010 – 2030) • Alignment with the skills development performance requirements: Skills Development Act Section 10A(1)(a) requires each SETA to conclude a Service Level Agreement (SLA) with the Director General concerning the SETA’s performance of its functions in terms of the SDA and the NSDS • Alignment with planning and reporting requirements: Treasury Regulations 30 issued in terms of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA) requires each SETA to develop Annual Strategic Plans and submit these Annual Strategic Plans as well as reports on the implementation of its plans to the Director General on an annual basis • Grant Regulation 3, 03 December 2012, states that there is a need for SETAs to align their SSPs, Strategic Plans (SP) and Annual Performance Plans (APP) with policies, systems and processes to enable these plans to be implemented. Of course, within the SP and APP it will be necessary to allocate human and financial resources in a manner that is also aligned to the impact set out in the SSP

  4. What is a SSP • Developed mainly by social partners (stakeholders) i.e. employer, labour and government • A “report” developed by a SETA in consultation with stakeholders – contains economic & labour market information such as workplace data, critical economic labour market and social drivers, signals and indicators of merSETA manufacturing economic & government policy environment, stakeholders perspectives & views, scenarios for education and skills development • Indicates skills needs in terms of supply and value chains & changing economic environments – current needs (company WSP/ATR analysis) & emerging or future needs (analysis of emerging economic and labour market drivers for skills as well as analysis of change drivers for skills development contained in national key strategies, strategies such as the Industrial Policy Action Plan (IPAP), National Growth Path (NGP and Strategic Infrastructure Projects • Must cover employer, worker and government priority needs • Used to determine the skills needs of both existing employees & those entering the labour market for planning skills in demand, priority skills needs, relevant high quality programmes, fund/incentives regime, SETA’s response to government’s priorities and the objectives of the NDP, NGP, NSDS lll, IPAP and HRD-SA

  5. Uses of a SSP • A practical, user-friendly report that provides vital information to understanding skills development issues in a economic sector without going into an academic treatise • Provides strategic direction for education, training and skills development priority actions • Should provide direction to education and training institutions, skills development providers and other interested parties with regard to developing relevant education, training and skills development responses for the merSETA manufacturing environment • Support regional and employer plans • Inform allocation of resources/funding priorities • Enable individuals to make informed career choices. • Monitorskills development provision in the sector.

  6. What is a SSP • Chapter 1: sector profile covering scope of coverage, key role players, economic performance, employer and employee profile; issues influencing sector skills needs and skills development requirements • Chapter 2: Identifies change drivers for skills demand and supply e.g technologicalinnovation, global and local economic environment factors, government policies &strategies • Chapter 3: Key skills supply and demand issues, scarce skills (occupations in demand), skills gaps (critical skills), skills supply (e.g. TVET, HEI, SETA) • Chapter 4: Identifies and assesses partnerships - TVET, HEI, Public sector, International, Chamber Research, Social (civil/NPO/NLPE), Innovation and Applied Research Partnerships • Chapter 5: Summary of skills issues & drivers of previous chapters, recommendations for priority actions

  7. Alignment of Planning and Documents • All planning, from SSP to performance agreements, underpinned by the principles of consultation, stakeholder input & consensus, & by the results based management approach of the National Treasury Framework of legislation and guidelines for planning, budgeting and performance management • Sector skills plan – as described above • 5 year Strategic Plan: 5 year achievable & realistic targets aligned to SETA mandate and SSP – i.e. 5 year strategic outcomes oriented goals; budget programme structure aligned to SETA service delivery responsibility; strategic objectives that clearly state what the merSETA intends to do or produce to achieve its strategic outcomes oriented goals • The Annual Performance Plan (APP_: SETA intends doing in the upcoming financial year and provides a 3 year Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) horizon for implementing its Strategic Plan - performance indicators & targets for achieving its strategic goals & objectives for its budget programmes; basis upon which the SETA, annually, reports to Parliament through the Minister of Higher Education and Training (MHET) • The Service Level Agreement (SLA), based on Strategic Plan & APP, signed agreement (contract) between the DG and the merSETA (AA) that sets out the SETA’s specific annual obligations and responsibilities, and is the instrument that the Minister and Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) utilises to monitor the activities of the merSETA and the outputs and outcomes thereof. • The annual operational plan of the merSETA for all its operational core functions determined mainly on the basis of the obligations and responsibilities of the SLA and the APP, with a line of sight to the 5 year Strategic Plan and SSP priorities

  8. Alignment of Planning and Documents

  9. Key themes emerging from 2017 and 2018 AA strategy sessions, SSP update – implications for planning LEADERS IN CLOSING THE SKILLS GAP

  10. AA July 2017 • Transformation: meeting economic demand whilst addressing targets for race, gender, people with disability, youth and rural communities • Accountability: ensuring appropriate accountability of all role players and stakeholders in the merSETA skills eco-system for the implementation of merSETA strategy • Social media strategy: leveraging best practice social media approaches and trends to better extend the reach of the merSETA to a larger range of stakeholders • Data: developing labour forecasting methodology/methodologies to acquire credible data that can adequately inform skills planning which results in the merSETA making an impact in its industries • Behavioural insights approach: drawing on the behavioural insights approach to implement programmes and projects – i.e. skill development as critical for both economic and psycho-social empowerment • In-depth understanding of growth areas and changing nature of work and production: developing training interventions to support new areas of growth as well as for changes taking place in the manufacturing industries of the “mer” sector

  11. AA July 2017 • National growth and development strategies: identifying those areas of growth into which black emerging industrialists could develop and provide skills development support (e.g. components manufacturing, SME, cooperatives) • Diversify types of training programmes: introducing training programmes that are geared towards non artisan and non technical qualifications, but can lead to employment in available jobs • Review chambers: review the structure and membership of chambers in line with current and emerging demands rather than historical constraints (e.g. Tyre Chamber using the existence of a bargaining council as a criteria, whereas the new demand may be for a components manufacture chamber which would include the tyre industry) • Career interest: fostering career interest aligned to global future skills requirements as well as addressing adult career development for those in employment / in the labour market • International relationships: building international mentoring and exchange programmes and partnerships to advance and modernise the merSETA skills development eco-system • New collaborations/partnerships: exploring and developing new collaborations and partnerships for innovation solutions to skills development

  12. Updated SSP – principles for planning • Evidence based decision making: Skills development should be based on credible research evidence. • Consultation and good governance: merSETA should maintain trust and confidence through consulting and providing opportunities for external and internal stakeholder inputs/intelligence and ensure clear role delineation between the AA, its Committees and the executive management for the execution of the AA strategy. • Partnership: merSETA should continue to use partnerships as important vehicles for: exploring, developing and implementing innovation solutions and large scale programmes/projects; building its knowledge base; and, advancing and modernising its skills development system. • Centrality of work integrated learning (WIL): WIL is core to learning within and for merSETA occupations and skills. • Utilisation of education, training skills development infrastructure of PSET provisioning system: merSETA should support and develop the PSET provisioning infrastructure (workplace, community colleges, TVET colleges, HEIs, skills development providers) so that it can expand the reach of its services. • Differentiated response: There must be recognition of regional and enterprise differentiation.

  13. Updated SSP – strategic priority actions • Automation of production processes impacting on current employees especially operators and elementary workers calls for a survey of workers’ skills needs so as to inform the reskilling and upskilling interventions to be implemented to minimise job losses. • Transformation remains a key imperative for skills development of managerial, professional, technician and artisanal occupations with regard to race and gender, and for all occupational groups with regard to people with disability. • Informal businesses need to be supported to become formal registered business, such as small enterprises or cooperatives. The merSETA should work together with other state agencies to develop an ecosystem approach whereby support includes not only training, but also access to: finance, operational efficiency support, markets and value chains of merSETA industries.

  14. Updated SSP – strategic priority actions • Future skills for circular, advanced manufacturing and Industry 4.0 should be researched to inform the development of new career pathways and skills development responses that will: prepare current employees for changing careers; attract and skill youth for new occupations and careers; and, skill business owners especially small and medium sized enterprise so that they are enabled to take up opportunities in growth areas such as plastics, motor, new tyre, metal renewable energy and chemical; which are also supported by incentives and schemes of different government strategies for re-industrialisation and localisation IPAP and SIPs being examples of such strategies. • Government strategies skills needs must be unpacked. The merSETA must engage the responsible departments with the view to implementing mega skills development projects for the strategies, inclusive of those for rural development and the urban economically marginalised. • Curriculum research and development based on deep understanding of changing production processes must be implemented to steer the delivery of education, training and skills development for merSETA industries. • Career development, advice and support for the flexible labour market implied by the advent of advanced manufacturing and Industry 4.0 must be put in place to empower current and new entrants manage their career aspirations and development.

  15. AA July 2018 - innovation • Exploring innovative ways of delivering skills in response to changing trends driven by industry 4.0 and other developments such as the green and circular economy • Promoting an ecosystematic approach that is responsive and promotes the development of innovative curriculum • Cross chamber integration of curriculum research and development, cross chamber use of curriculum/qualifications, review of curriculum & qualifications policy for Industry 4.0 and other developments • Identifying local innovations and ways in which the merSETA can support the development of local innovation capability • Tapping into thought leadership forums (locally and internationally) to build our Innovation, Research and Development capability • Leveraging local research that has been produced to identify emerging and future trends in manufacturing, skills, training, education etc. • Incubation models drawing on local, multinational and international capability

  16. AA July 2018 - structural transformation • Strengthening the support of key priority sectors (automotive, plastics, metals etc) and national imperatives such as the black industrialists scheme as identified in the IPAP and other key strategies • Supporting entrepreneurship to speed up structural transformation of the economy and sector (ownership, management, composition and control) • Ecosystematic approach to transformation (ensuring that different role players work together to support entrepreneurship e.g. funding partners such as SEDA, IDC and SETAs working together to build the capacity of entrepreneurs to respond to market demands • Developing a skills framework that can support the structural transformation of the economy – integrated planning in collaboration with partners government/agencies driving transformation of the economy/national growth and development strategies • Influencing policy to unblock barriers of access for SMEs, cooperatives • Identifying opportunities for localisation within the sector and providing the necessary support to build capability and support incubators • Ecosystematic approach to uplifting SMEs, cooperatives and informal sector (e.g. funding/business support agencies + SETA + government department + private sector) within the sector, and the green and circular economy • Leveraging BBBEEE scorecard for skills development within the sector • Promote careers that find expression in township and rural economies

  17. AA July 2018 - skills 4.0 / future skills • Unpacking the skills requirements for each of the government priorities that speak to our sector. • Identifying innovative ways of delivering skills that are responsive to industry needs and changing trends • Support to post school delivery system – E&T institutions, training centres, workplace training, skills development providers etc – teachers/trainers/mentors/assessors; curriculum and materials • Creation of new career trajectories for retrenched skilled workers by exploring opportunities for them in E&T institutional framework e.g. TVET lecturer development programmes • Developing skills not just for current demand but for the business of tomorrow (future skills) • Developing high level skills not just for local demand but for exporting to other countries • Acquiring skills and knowledge from other countries • Promoting an ecosystematic approach to the development of curriculum that responds to the changing notion of training and education • Career development that is focused on the needs of the individual and more self guided (life design)

  18. AA July 2018 - partnerships • Ensuring that partnerships are pragmatically conceptualised to support innovation, transformation, skills 4.0 and other priorities . • Strengthening the role of the merSETA in creating linkages between industry and HEIs and TVETs so as to promote the responsiveness of education and training to industry needs and changing trends • merSETA and employers partnering to raise quality of E&T institutions • Creating opportunities for partnerships between SMEs and large firms in training and other opportunities • Facilitation of PPPs • Forming strategic partnerships with other SETAs, government departments and agencies to respond to cross cutting national imperatives such a sustainability, the green economy, digital skills etc. • Some key partners identified: DTI & its agencies; DST and its agencies; DBE; Provincial and Local Government and agencies;

  19. AA July 2018 - governance and resourcing • Building robust systems, processes, procedures and other mechanisms to promote operational efficiency, better planning and evidence based decision making • Review of organisation – functions, organisational structure etc – to support emerging and future strategic imperatives • Building internal capability (skills and capacity) of the merSETA to promote effective internal functioning and governance • Ensuring that our grant system and funding model is robust and responsive to the need to support structural transformation, innovation, skills 4.0 and other priorities • Building capability to ensure that key strategic data is readily available and accessible for planning and evidence based decision • Review of the role of merSETA governance structures (regional committees and chambers) in supporting the board and leadership (structures driving solutions and issues for regions/chambers) • Delineation of roles and responsibilities between governance structures and operations (complementary roles of strategic oversight and operational management) • Strengthening communications and stakeholder engagement to better understand our stakeholders, sector, increase our reach and impact, and showcase success stories
