Beste voornemende Tekkie

Vir my as skoolhoof is dit ’n groot voorreg om namens HTS Welkom alle graad sewe leerders nader te wink met die uitnodiging om deel te word van ’n skool wat deur die jare diep spore in die Goudveld getrap het.

As jy om jou rondkyk en ’n bietjie begin rondvra, gaan jy agterkom dat die mense wat ’n verbintenis met die trotse en ryke geskiedenis van HTS Welkom het, deur die gemeenskap verweef is.  Kyk jy ’n bietjie dieper en vra jy rond, sal jy besef dat die skool baie mense in die samelewing ’n hupstoot gegee het. Besef dat, as jy na die skool toe kom, jy die deure vir jouself na soveel meer geleenthede sal oopmaak.

Met ons verpligte akademiese vakkeuse en die keuse uit ’n verskeidenheid tegniese vakke, behou jy jouself die reg voor om universiteit toe te gaan, ’n ambag te volg of entrepreneur te word.

Volgende jaar vind daar groot veranderinge in tegniese skole plaas.  Spesialisering is terug!  Jy kan dus spesialiseer in ’n tegniese vak wat sal verseker dat die nywerheid jou sal wil hê!  HTS Welkom poog ook om jou by besighede geplaas te kry, sodat jy na graad 12 ’n loopbaan het.  Dit hang dus van jou af of jy die beste vakman sal wees!

Verder waarborg HTS Welkom jou ’n professionele personeel wat jou talente vir jou in die klaskamer, sowel as op buitemuur se terrein kan ontsluit, ontwikkel en ontgin.

Oudleerders

Tekkies is oral in aanvraag en indien hulle goeie punte en goeie kwalifikasies het, sukkel hulle nie om werk te kry nie.

Mense met tegniese kwalifikasie is skaars en daarom baie gesog. HTS se oudleerders bly en werk die wêreld oor - gaan google gerus om te sien waar hulle oral hul vaardighede gebruik.

The unemployment rate in South Africa remains one of the highest in the world and over the past year it has become harder to fill positions, with the demand for engineers and skilled trade-workers at its highest.

This is according to Manpower South Africa’s tenth annual Talent Shortage Survey, released on Monday morning. Since last year, there has been a marked increase in the difficulty of filling positions, the survey found. In 2014, only 8% of South Africa employers surveyed reported difficulty in filling job vacancies, but this year, 31% of employers reported difficulty.

The survey, which sampled 750 local businesses, reported that the most difficult positions to fill this year, in order of difficulty, were: Skilled trades, engineers, management/executive staff, accounting and finance staff, sales representatives, secretaries, personal assistants, receptionists, administrative assistants and office support staff, drivers, technicians, teachers and IT personnel.
Lack of technical skills

When employers were asked why they had difficulty filling jobs, the survey found 52% of them cited environmental or market factors, 47% mentioned a lack of technical competencies or hard skills and 46% cited a lack of available applicants or no applicants at all for the position.

Thirty percent of South African employers cited the lack of industry-specific qualifications or certifications in terms of skilled trades as a challenge, while 26% mentioned a lack of candidate experience. Furthermore, 19% of employers identified organisational factors as an issue, while 15% cited industry-specific qualifications and certifications in terms of professionals as a challenge.

“South Africa’s continued skills deficit is being compounded by a lack of technical skills, which is having a negative impact on employment across many sectors of the country’s economy,” said Lyndy van den Barselaar, managing director of Manpower South Africa. “Furthermore, there is a high instance of poverty among South African youth, leaving millions unable to pursue secondary and tertiary education or training, which presents a challenge in terms of their skills development and employment prospects.”
Innovative solutions

The skills deficit has caused employers to seek new innovative ways to face the skills challenge.

“When asked what strategies they were pursuing to overcome the difficulties created by the skills shortage, 44% of South African employers said they would be adopting people practices, while 36% said they would be exploring new talent sources,” Manpower South Africa said.

“Meanwhile, 31% said they would be providing additional training and development to existing staff, while a further 29% said they would focus on developing new skills. Twenty-eight percent of employers said they were focusing on enhancing existing skills in their businesses, while 25% said they would appoint people who do not currently have the necessary skills, but have the potential to learn and grow.”

With 31% of employers reporting difficulty in filling posts, South Africa is moving closer to (but still fares better than), the global average of 38%, as determined by ManpowerGroup’s research.

“Globally, employers in Japan continue to report the greatest talent shortages, with 83% of employers struggling to fill open positions. At the other end of the scale, employers in Ireland report the least problems with talent shortages, with only 11% of employers struggling to fill jobs,” the company said.



Lisa Steyn is a business reporter at the Mail & Guardian.






The labour expert attributed South Africa’s skills shortage to emigration of high-skilled workers, immigration restrictions for high-skilled foreigners and a dysfunctional education system.

At present, there are an estimated 470,000 vacancies in the private sector which are positions that could be filled almost immediately if the skills were available, Adcorp said.

However, Sharp said: “South Africa simultaneously possesses a surplus of unemployed graduates. At present, there are an estimated 344,000 unemployed people with degrees, diplomas and certificates.”

“Although a tertiary qualification remains the most successful indicator of finding employment (90% of graduates are employed), the remainder fail to find employment because their qualifications do not match those sought by employers.”
