PLANNING STRATEGICALLY FOR SKILLS DEVELOPMENT
CHIETA’s track record of exceptional delivery in an accountable and responsible manner, with no skills development funds wasted and all set targets reached or exceeded in a sound governance environment.

Blue print for partnerships with TVET Colleges and Industry
Linkages with DBE for support of comprehensive schools
Excellent electronic skills planning system and grant application and disbursement system using the “follow the money “principle.
This has put CHIETA in a good space for the future landscape
Integration of strategic skills planning, with scenarios and risk management to further increase CHIETA maturity level and strategic agility as external and transactional environments changes are progressing well and an update will be provided via the Governance and Strategy Committee of the Board.

6. POSSIBLE SCENARIOS FOR THE CHEMICALS MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY
FORK IN THE ROAD
Global economic and commodity bounce back
Reindustrialisation shapes SA GDP structure
SA develops global mining/agriculture/manufacturing competitiveness
Significant investment in oil/gas/coal /nuclear
Skills base increasing and unemployment falling
Despite being well funded SETAS out of touch, out of date
Industry “goes it alone” on skills training, imports skills
Expanded chemicals industry
HIGHWAY TO PROSPERITY
Global economy drives commodity recovery
SA attracts massive new industrial investment
Mining/agriculture/manufacturing competitiveness picks up
Demand/policy sees much new oil/gas/coal/nuclear investment
Skills base increasing and unemployment falling
SETAS responsive to expanding chemicals industry
Industry/SETA collaboration =global best practice example
Prescriptive skills environment
Collaborative skills environment
POTHOLES AHEAD
Global economy stalls and commodity prices flat
SA deindustrialises further, services share of GDP up
Investment in mining/agriculture/manufacturing declines
Little new energy investment (no nukes, no fracking)
Low skills, high unemployment economy
SETA funding slides and SETA offering seen as out of touch with industry
Little demand for new skills, skills imports
4X4 OFFROADING
Global economy stalls
Industrial disinvestment out of SA
Mining/agriculture/manufacturing competitiveness declines
Little investment in oil/gas/coal/nuclear
High unemployment and low skills base
Seta funding falls off
Industry and CHIETA engage in highly creative collaboration to shore up niche industries against the odds – another global best practice case study in a chemicals unfriendly world
Contracting chemicals industry

7. SCENARIO 4: FLAGS FOR 4X4 OFFROADING AND SOME EMERGING PRIORITIES BEING SIGNALLED
RPL and accelerated skills training pipeline are embarked upon between Industry and CHIETA to deliver even faster on quality skills needed.
CHIETA and Industry are recognised for high quality and stakeholder driven research that enrich the skills planning and delivery process
Impact studies in partnership with Industry clearly demonstrates on a continuous basis that CHIETA impact beyond just pure learner numbers
A concern is that well educated South Africans, black and white, leave South Africa for better career opportunities abroad and losing our much needed Intellectual Capital
At the centre is the economy and by implication Industry, that cannot under these circumstances create the wealth and employment needed to meet popular expectation for improved living standards
Small business support and expansion occurs through collaboration with Industry and Government agencies on niche chemical companies and offerings
South African and Industry Policy makers through collaboration keep engaging to find sustainable solutions for the growing economic crisis
