Suzanne Hattingh started the topic Do you have the skills set required in the GIG economy? in the forum
4th Industrial Revolution 1 month, 1 week agoThe world of work in the 4th Industrial Revolution will result in a larger part of the workforce being engaged in alternative work arrangements, with many doing work for more than one organisation at the same time. This will be increasingly common in the ‘GIG economy’: a labour market characterised by flexible, on-demand work in short-term con…[Read more]

4th Industrial Revolution 1 month, 3 weeks agoHow should we respond to the challenges of the 4th Industrial Revolution? In a presentation in January at the 2019 SALSA Seminar of the Legislatures of South Africa, I posed these questions that we need to ask as individuals, leaders and critical thinkers.
1. What are the main Threats and Opportunities of Industry 4.0 and how they affect my…[Read more] -

Concerned Providers Interest Group – QCTO/SAQA/SETA 2 months agoThanks for this much-needed initiative, Lynel. The same problems are experienced by Private Higher Education Institutions that I assist with CHE accreditation. Even after the quite lengthy process of receiving CHE accreditation and SAQA registration of the qualification, we are still waiting for DHET registration – with no response after 2+ years.…[Read more]

Hi Peter, It would be great if you join the newly created group: https://www.skills-universe.com/groups/4th-industrial-revolution/ to share your insights. I’ve also been actively raising concerns about the impact of 4IR on skills, skills planning and the fact that our occupation-directed system under the QCTO is not designed to prepare the…[Read more]

Suzanne Hattingh started the topic Failing CHE Accreditation: Programme Design Requirements in the forum
Accreditation Processes 5 months, 2 weeks agoMost providers who fail their first application for CHE Accreditation don’t meet the requirements of Criterion 1: Programme Design. This is arguably the most important criterion for the CHE Programme Accreditation of Private Higher Education Institutions. In almost every case in which I’ve assisted institutions over many years to write R…[Read more]

I just phoned the QCTO switchboard number Bernard gave and was answered within 3 rings by a friendly voice! Maybe just my lucky day. She said the switchboard is fully functional.

Here is the timeline to give you an idea of the steps in the process.

Suzanne Hattingh replied to the topic SETA landscape – proposed changes for comment in the forum Skills Development Facilitators 8 months, 3 weeks ago
I believe that implementing any of the proposals in the Gazette on changes to the SETA landscape will be counter-productive at this stage. It will delay the fundamental rethink of the SETA-QCTO-OFO system that is urgently needed because the system is not fit-for-purpose to prepare the workforce for the future World of Work. The proposals are…[Read more]

Concerned Providers Interest Group – QCTO/SAQA/SETA 8 months, 4 weeks agoThanks Sylvia, I found figures in the DHET Annual Report 2016-2017. Extract with link to full Report attached. Does the figure seem accurate? I thought it would be much higher.

Concerned Providers Interest Group – QCTO/SAQA/SETA 9 months, 2 weeks agoOur system of using the OFO for identifying skills needs through WSPs and developing QCTO qualifications is preparing the workforce for occupations that won’t exist in the 4th IR workplace. “Five years from now, 35% of skills that are considered important in today’s workforce will have changed.” (World Economic Forum, 2016) People’s relations…[Read more]

To avoid anyone thinking that I support the OFO in any way, I have to disagree with Pierre’s note, 23 July: “It is essential that that Job Profile process get standardised and it starts with the OFO.” The OFO with its standardised occupational categories worked well in die 2nd Industrial Revolution, and already showed weaknesses in the 3rd. But it…[Read more]

Thanks, Sylvia: Very interesting changes in the NSA Review to replace the WSP/ATR with the Workplace Skills Survey. Some positive changes, but unfortunately it doesn’t do away with the OFO that is going to become increasingly irrelevant as occupations and job descriptions become more fluid and cross cutting in the changing world of work. The…[Read more]

Yes. MOOCs should be an essential tool in the learning landscape. Maybe SETAs will even start realising that and adapt their systems to give more recognition for it.
