CONFERENCE AT A GLANCE
“The MICT sector is at the forefront of technological changes, advancement is a crucial factor amongst employers and stakeholders in the sector. This, together with keeping up to date with international trends has serious skills development implications for the sector. As the use of technology and mechanisation becomes prevalent it too impacts skills development. The various stakeholders in the MICT sector are an integral part of the skills development strategy. There is acknowledgement that MICT graduates from learning institutions still have to be exposed to the workplace upon completion and have been found to still require a lot of capacitation.” – The MICT-SETA 2014-2019 Sector Skills Plan
The global MICT industry is constantly changing. As with all industries, the ubiquity
and pervasive impact of technology, workforce dynamics and economic forces
have a major impact on human capital development. HR and L&D professionals are
challenged to develop the 21st Century Workplace Skills needed to innovate, provide,
maintain and use MICT products and services. At the same time suppliers, service
and learning providers as well as academia can no longer afford time-consuming and
costly programmes to develop training needs that evolve at the pace of technology.
This inaugural HCD for MICT conference will address the burning issues that impact
on MICT skills requirements and solutions, discussing the stakeholder synergy and
collaboration needed to provide both targeted interventions for, and dynamic lifelong
learning experiences in, the modern workplace.
Delegates will hear about current innovation and success stories across the five MICT
sub-sectors in a South African context and be able to network and share insights
towards making solutions an ongoing reality in this dynamic sector. Knowledge Resources in collaboration with Learning21C are proud to invite you to the first Human Capital Development for MICT Conference. We will hear from government, academia and industry relating to plans and collaborative solutions aimed at ensuring a thriving MICT sector that contributes to the economic growth and prosperity of our society.
These are just some of the topics that will be covered at the upcoming Human Capital
Development for MICT Conference in Johannesburg on 24 & 25 February 2016:
- Thought Leadership on development of MICT workplace skills and appropriate
learning tools – how Government, Academia and “the World of Work” can and
must collaborate. - Addressing the MICT skills gap through Partnerships between the State, Learning.
- Providers and Business (Internships and Learnerships)
- Innovative workplace learning opportunities in a time of increasing competition
and stringent ROI requirements. - Developing and retaining skills in the constantly evolving MICT sub-sectors
