35. Drivers of Change
The listed below should not be viewed as exclusive, but rather, a condensed view of the key drivers of change within the sector.

36. Demand for skills Over 72% of occupations in need
Scarce skills: occupations where employers experience difficulties recruiting qualified people.
Over 72% of occupations in need
Employers cited lack of skilled (and experienced) people as the main reason
19% of occupations in need
Geographical location was cited as the main reason
9% of occupations in need
Employment equity considerations cited as the main reason

37. Priority Skills list development: Methodology
The development of the Priority Skills list follows a process that involves:
Analysis of submitted Workplace Skills Plans (WSPs)
Weighted against:
the total number of levy-paying employers
the number of times an occupation was identified as scarce in the WSPs
reasons for scarcity
Developments in the sector, emerging trends as well as future skills needs
Occupations identified as scarce skills per sub-sector during interviews

38. Top 10 Pivotal Skills OCCUPATION CODE OCCUPATION 2015-216603
Multimedia Designer
Advertising Specialist
ICT Systems Analyst
Software developer
Developer Programmer
Multimedia Specialist
Computer Network and Systems Engineer
Director (Film, Television, Radio or Stage)
Computer Network Technician
Telecommunications Technical Officer or Technologist

39. Concluding Considerations
The MICT sector’s dynamism and constant technological flux require adept training and upskilling (programmes) if the sector has to remain competitive
The high proportion of SME within the sector calls for continued focus on SME development to support sustainable creation of employment and growth
Continued rural reach has become imperative to expanding inclusion and increasing access to occupationally-directed programmes to the previously disadvantaged communities.
