24. KEY AND CRITICAL SKILLS NEED FOR ENERGY, OIL AND GAS SUB SECTOR 24 Critical industry partners are SAPIA, NPEA and SAOGA Integrated and focused skills planning TOGETHER with stakeholders in the chemical and petroleum industry is core to the CHIETA organisational management processes and sustained service delivery The compilation of the CHIETA sector skills plan involves ACTIVE participation all stakeholders through the CHIETA chamber structures including the stakeholders from the petroleum industry. 9 subsector skills plans are developed which articulate and define scarce and critical skills needs and subsequent challenges with associated risks Emanating from this stakeholder consultative process, the Petroleum subsector has defined its list of occupations which they regard as key and critical to industry

25. KEY AND CRITICAL SKILLS NEED FOR ENERGY,OIL AND GAS CONTINUED 25 This information is forthcoming from detailed analysis of the workplace skills plan submitted by the petroleum companies, extensive stakeholder engagements that are further complimented with independent research The petroleum sub sector skills plan also provide specific perspective on priority skills, employment in these occupation and number of vacancies as a percentage of total employment Currently in the petroleum subsector skills (September 2014) plan 1679 vacancies exist in priority skills areas which constitute currently 3.7% of total employment in the sector

26. KEY AND CRITICAL SKILLS DEFINED BY THE PETROLEUM SECTOR IS:  Engineering/Operations Managers  Engineers ( Chemical, Mechanical, Industrial, Electrical, Mining And Civil)  Engineering Technologist  Artisans (Welders, Electricians, Boilermakers, Pipe Fitter, Mechanical/Diesel Fitter, Instrument Mechanician)  Chemical Plant Controllers  Gas/Petroleum Controllers  Health And Safety Managers and Practitioners  Operations/Production/Project Managers  Geologist/Surveyors  ICT Project Managers  Boiler and Pressure Valve Inspectors  Production Coordinators  Metallurgical And Material Technicians  Accountants/HR/Sales And Marketing/Business Managers and Research and Development Manager 26 KEY AND CRITICAL SKILLS NEED FOR ENERGY,OIL AND GAS CONTINUED

27. In addition, the following skills priorities have been identified: industry namely:  Together with SAPIA, design and implement the SA Petroleum Institute in support of an integrated skills development strategy for the petroleum industry  Implement a coherent approach to skills development in the oil and gas industry inclusive of a marine oil and gas academy aimed at linking industry with public institutions and private providers and learners in the oil and gas value chain, developing local capacity benchmarked against global standards  Skills to support new and emerging developments such as shale gas exploration and extraction through hydraulic fracturing or “ fracking”. Will require people with a strong maths and science base and skills development emphasizing trans-disciplinary natural and social science skill-sets 27 KEY AND CRITICAL SKILLS NEED FOR ENERGY,OIL AND GAS CONTINUED

28. Our homework with partners show:  Hydraulic fracking is expected to commence in 2018  Entrepreneurship and technology development are critical for successful exploitation of shale gas  The fields of forensic chemistry becomes important to establish baseline conditions before fracking starts to be used in potential litigation and monitoring of impact in years to follow  Local communities will play a strong role in the monitoring and evaluation of environmental conditions and need to be trained to do specific observations and monitoring  Significant opportunities for small business/entrepreneurship  Specialised skills development support needed in hydro-chemistry, forensic chemistry, economics,social sciences, geo-hydrology, earth stewardship science and data management 28 KEY AND CRITICAL SKILLS NEED FOR ENERGY,OIL AND GAS CONTINUED

29. Key challenges and unrealised opportunities related to skills development were identified by the petroleum sector, Department of Energy, SAPIA and CHIETA namely:  Ongoing artisan development  optimisation of RPL to develop semi skilled staff into artisans through industry acceptable programs,  poor quality of maths and science that stifle the supply of candidates, enhance the quality of training offered by TVET Colleges (currenty not to the satisfaction of industry),  harnessing of resources released by industry by TVET Colleges,  artisan training programmes to be more geared for the specific and unique needs of the petroleum industry and  Much clearer articulation between TVET Colleges and universities to allow for artisans to develop into higher level professionals 29 KEY AND CRITICAL SKILLS NEED FOR ENERGY,OIL AND GAS CONTINUED

30.  Recruitment and training of technicians in terms of training content offered by universities of technology, absence of training programmes to up-skill technicians to higher level technical positions, optimisation of RPL for technicians, amendment of registration requirements by ECSA  Shortage of engineers and need to increase the enrolment numbers  Engineering programmes not addressing the specific needs of industry  Engineers not registering with ECSA and engineers not meeting the professional development requirements in order to maintain there registration. 30 KEY AND CRITICAL SKILLS NEED FOR ENERGY,OIL AND GAS CONTINUED

31. STATUS AND IMPACT OF CHIETA SKILLS INTERVENTIONS FOR ENERGY, OIL AND GAS SUB SECTOR 31  Petroleum sub sector plan forms part of the CHIETA sector skills plan for the chemical industry which defines key and critical or scarce skills needed  Implementation transpires through the CHIETA strategic plan and annual performance plans with specific performance indicators and pre-determined performance targets and budgetary allocations  In NSDS 3 (2011- 2016) CHIETA met and exceeded its organisational performance targets for every financial year thus far and within an unqualified audit opinion by the AG (SA) for 13 consecutive years  Performance and monitoring are done continuously by the CHIETA governance structures to ensure sustained delivery and performance

32. STATUS AND IMPACT OF CHIETA SKILLS INTERVENTIONS FOR ENERGY,OIL AND GAS SUB SECTOR CONTINUED  Forming partnerships is a primary delivery arm for critical skills development as per the White Paper on PSET combining theory, funding and workplace learning in an integrated manner  CHIETA has developed a detailed occupational handbook defining the outputs and competency of each occupation within the petroleum and gas sector and all 9 sub-sectors. It forms an important part of our integrated research and skills planning agenda.  Throughout NSDS 3 (2011- 2016) CHIETA displayed excellent performance of its organisational targets for every financial year and within an unqualified audit opinion 32

33.  Performance and monitoring are done continuously by the CHIETA governance structures to ensure sustained delivery and performance on performance areas  CHIETA implemented a supply side database which link learners to member companies and workplaces for workplace experience and employment opportunities - free labour broking service  In terms of mandatory grant support to the petroleum sub sector CHIETA disbursed an amount of R126 million over the last three financial years commencing 2012/13 in support of their respective workplace skills plans  The following slide illustrate the CHIETA discretionary grant investment and number of learners supported over the same period 33 STATUS AND IMPACT OF CHIETA SKILLS INTERVENTIONS FOR ENERGY,OIL AND GAS SUB SECTOR CONTINUED
