SkillsBoost 2025 is a sector-based technology skills supply & demand & study which aims to identify critical gaps in the digital and technology skills landscape across key sectors in the Western Cape. 

Building a robust and accelerated digital skills pipeline is not only an economic imperative—it is essential for ensuring that traditionally non-tech sectors also integrate technology at an intersectional level. This cross-sectoral approach will foster greater business resilience, responsiveness to evolving market trends, and improved operational efficiency.

The study will provide a strategic foundation for targeted interventions that enhance sectoral competitiveness through digital skills development and integration.
