National Situational Analysis
1. Detailed, accurate, current data for artisan trade prioritization, workplaces,
& placement, scientific target setting & monitoring & evaluation.
2. Single guaranteed funding model for all artisan trades applicable to all
sectors including single, simple artisan learner administration and grant
disbursement system.
3. Artisan Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) system that is focused on
supporting persons who are working as support workers in the
engineering field to become certificated artisans.
4. Labour legislation that controls employer and artisan learner
employment relationships and conditions of service that inhibit an
increase in the number of approved artisan learner workplaces.

The need and how our target relates to this
Targets
The Western Cape economy is about 10% of the
national economy so estimated shortfall of 10 000
over the next five years. This translates into a
demand for 2 000 artisans p.a. Currently we are
producing about 1 000 artisans p.a. 50% of them
linked to priority trades.
Western Cape
An estimated shortfall of 100 000 artisans over the
next 5 years. National

Demand for vocational skills is intensifying and supply of
artisanal skills is limited
Vocational Skills
Development is
critical to
economic growth
in the Western
Cape
It is a cross-cutting
mandate through
spheres of
government and
various
departments
Supply does not match demand
Industry demand for artisans is intensifying
Significant infrastructural and manufacturing projects identified through SIPs
Provincial economic growth sectors require trained artisans
Operation Phakisa (National) requires trained
artisans/ vocational skills
Demand
Provincial (and National) shortage of vocational skills
Through-put
Lack of foundational quality
Aging population (average age of 55 years)
Ineffective funding mechanisms
The artisan/ vocational development process is problematic
Supply
Why should Vocational skills be a Game Changer?
