Reddy, V., Powell, P., (2014) The emerging contours of a credible institutional skills planning mechanism for South Africa: Towards a common perspective.

The Labour Market Intelligence Partnership (LMIP) hosted a policy roundtable to open debate on the nature and shape of an appropriate institutional skills planning mechanism for South Africa. The event drew a range of stakeholders from across the SETA, labour market and political economy spectrum. The programme is attached, and the full presentations are available on the website, lmip.org.za.
We report here on the key ideas, proposals, points of discussion and debate, with the intention to facilitate ongoing critical comment and stakeholder contributions. Such a widespread process of engagement is critical to DHET’s task of delivering a skills planning mechanism.
