high level of professional knowledge and experience in the
fields of physical and life sciences, or social sciences and

coordinating activities of components in a department:
directing daily operations; overseeing the selection, training

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.

A Skills Programme generally contains selected elements of a qualification and is shorter
in duration than a learnership. It focuses on a specific skill needed in the workplace. The
successful learner is issued with a certificate of competence. Over time, the successful
combination of skills programmes can also lead to a qualification.
LEARNERSHIPS
Learnships are structured learning programmes that combine theoretical learning with
practical work experience which leads to a qualification registered on the NQF. The
theoretical and knowledge component of the learnership shall be one delivered by an
accredited training provider, and the workplace experience gained during the employment
with the employer. A learnership is given to the unemployed and also employed who desire
to upgrade or advance their skills.

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.
REGISTERING AS A WORK SEEKER
