  WHAT ARE SCARCE AND CRITICAL SKILLS?

  Scarce skills are generally understood as those skills one would struggle to find or cannot
  find at all in the labour market, Hard-to-fill vacancies (HTFVs) and Priority Occupations.
  If and when these are found they come at a premium rate. The word critical as used to
  describe ‘critical skills’ refers to important skills.

  Critical skills are often lacking because of a gap in any one of many learning areas,
  such as communication, mathematics, economics, management, sciences, technology,
  natural sciences. For example, when a qualified fitter and turner is required to but is
  not able to write a report on work he has completed, he lacks the ‘critical skill’ of written
  communication. In that instance, the fitter and turner must acquire the skill of written
  communication to fully carry out his duties. If his supervisor, in turn, cannot give clear
  instructions to his subordinates, then the supervisor might need to develop both verbal
  and written communication skills, giving him a critical skill, he needs to perform his duties
  fully.

 Scarce skills
   Those occupations in which there is a scarcity (lack) of
   qualified or experienced people.

 Critical skills
   Refers to the specific enabling skills within an occupation –
   cognitive skills such as decision making, problem solving
   and language and literacy, analytical thinking, numeracy,
   working in teams, planning, and leadership, among others).
                                                                                                  07
   Critical skills can be used across occupations and are not
   occupation-specific. Critical skills needed by Public Service
   Sector employees.

      EMPLOYMENT SERVICES OF SOUTH AFRICA

      The Department of Employment & Labour developed an IT portal (electronic database)
      called Employment Services of South Africa (ESSA). The system registers work-seeker
      personal particulars, qualifications, interests, skills and work experience. The system
      registers vacancies from employers and matches vacancies with best suitable candidates.
      Work-seekers are able to update their profiles on the system, for example work experience,
      qualification, contact details etc.

      HOW THE SERVICES WORK

      •    egistered work-seekers can log on to their profiles and apply for registered
          R
          opportunities that are open.
      •   Registered work-seekers are matched to registered opportunities and referred to
          employers within 5 working days.
      •   Employers using the self-service option can register their opportunities and receive
           feedback from the nearest DEL office.
      •    Work-seeker information is not available for employers using the self -service facility
            due to protection of work-seeker information. Referral is only done by DEL.
