Sectors and Skills: The Need for Policy Alignment

New book Sectors and Skills: The Need for Policy Alignment edited by Dr Andre Kraak (2009).

This monograph presents the results of a large-scale study of the skill demands of five economic clusters in South Africa. The analysis shows that each sector requires customised skills development strategies to meet specific sectoral conditions. This places widely diverging demands on the education and training system that, in turn, necessitate far greater levels of alignment between skills development and industrial policies.

Dr Kraak is currently Chief Director: Research at PALAMA.
