OVERVIEWSME Forums
― Engage profoundly with an important part of the sectors employers, namely companies that are employing between 1 and 50 people
― Insufficient data on the structure and the skills requirement of this very part of the sector
― In order to design a sound strategy for the engagement of skills development of the sector, a great deal of strategic research has to be conducted in order to put the skills development strategy on sound footing
― Gathering and dissemination of comprehensive information on training providers, training provided, and the training needs of SMEs will constitute a critical component of the strategy
TERMS OF REFERENCESpecific Terms of Reference
− Consult and share skills development information with MICT stakeholders,
with special emphasis on SME involvement
− Inform the MICT SETA Sector Skills Plan document in relation to the scarce
and critical skills in the sector
− Encourage cooperation between levy-payers, non-levy payers and training
providers in addressing the skills gaps within the MICT sector
― The MICT SETA should provide capacity building on:• accreditation processes• SMS learner uploads
― The SETA should identify and support focused and targeted scarce and critical skills within SME sector
― Non-levy payers should commit to paying levies once they are allocated Discretionary Grants to ensure sustained participation
― The SETA should develop and publish a databank of challenges facing training providers and potential solutions thereof
― The SETA should initiate focused partnerships between private and public providers
Potential areas of support: KZN- SME Forum
