Advertisement


By charltonphiliso, 16 October, 2014

The MICT SETA together with the QCTO is in the process of reviewing qualifications for all sub-sectors that fall within its scope. These are:

Advertising;

Film and Media;

Electronics;

IT;

Telecommunications

To this end we have held two pre-scoping sessions for the Journalism and the Film and Media (FEM) qualifications. During the Film and Media pre-scoping session, a suggestion was put forward that a blog be created to enable participation by the stakeholders, hence the creation of this blog.

To recap from the (FEM) session, stakeholders need to confirm if the proposed occupations are the correct ones. The session also asked the MICT SETA to extract from the OFO the different occupations and the tasks related to them. The next meeting is scheduled to take place on the 27th of October at the e Academy premises. It will be highly appreciated if the participants can use the blog and make inputs that can then be used for that session.

The occupations that were extracted from the OFO are as follows:
