2011 JCSE/ITWeb Skills Survey
Reports continue to appear about the dire shortage of ICT technical skills in SA, and opinions vary widely on how many ICT technical personnel are employed in the country.
As a result, the MICT SETA, in partnership with the e-Skills Institute, the Joburg Centre for Software Engineering (JCSE), and ITWeb, with the support of the other SETAs in SA, has again embarked on the annual research survey to determine:
* The installed base of information and communication technologies (ICT) technical personnel in SA;
* The skills development needs and preferences of employers of ICT technical personnel in SA;
* The skills development needs and preferences of South African ICT practitioners; and
* Skills development trends within the South African ICT sector.
The results of the 2011 ICT Skills Survey will be published by ITWeb after 31 August and will be made available from 1 October on the following Web sites: www.itweb.co.za , www.jcse.org.za , www.mict.org.za .
Whether you are an employer of ICT skills or a practitioner, all the information you provide in completing this questionnaire will be treated as strictly confidential. Your data will be aggregated with all other data obtained to provide a 'big picture' view of the South African ICT sector's skills development issues.
Your input would be greatly appreciated and will assist us in determining the exact extent of the ICT skills shortage in SA and the trends developing in response to the changing global environment.
