Problem Statement

Prevailing practice in South Africa is that government and/or the education and training fraternity lead the development of education, training and development (including the A21).

This creates a supply driven skills development sytem that needs to be converted to a deman-driven skills development system by employers taking ownership and leadership.

Discussion leaders

Ian Merrington (CiTi) and Florus Prinsloo (DEDAT)

Consider this:

	How do we identify what limits hinders employers in this regard?
	How do we address the problem of slow employer uptake?
	What progress has been made - what best practice does exists? What examples which can be used to inspire?
