Closing off the programme, was Senior Manager: ETQA Ms Natalie Nelson, who delivered a presentation highlighting the importance of maintaining quality, strengthening compliance and ensuring that learning programmes meet the standards required to prepare learners for meaningful participation in the workplace.

Ms Nelson unpacked accreditation, the monitoring of skills development providers and workplace-related processes, stressing the need for responsive systems that support quality training and meaningful learner outcomes. Quality assurance, she noted, keeps programmes relevant, credible and aligned with the needs of the sector.

For stakeholders at the Cape Town Roadshow, it was a fitting close to a day of conversations on building a skills ecosystem that learners and employers can trust.

Senior Manager: 4IR Ms Gugu Sema highlighted a common thread through her overview of 4IR updates: the skills that keep a workforce relevant must evolve as fast as technology does.

Her overview covered the 4IR Roadmap, the Digital Skills Strategy, Research Chairs, qualifications and the National Skills Competition Hackathons, each showing how learners and the workforce are being prepared for a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

At the Cape Town Stakeholder Engagement Roadshow, the message was clear: South Africa can only respond to the demands of technological change if industry, education and other stakeholders build these skills together.

Key takeaway: The future of the MICT sector depends on skills that can evolve alongside technology.

It also provided an update on programme implementation and the progress being made to strengthen learner development and skills delivery, highlighting the importance of workplace exposure, progression and opportunities beyond training.

The session reinforced the need for programmes that respond to industry needs and translate skills development into real opportunities for learners and the broader MICT sector.

MICT SETA Stakeholder Engagement Roadshow Cape Town - Opening Address and SSP Updates.
The session opened with Acting CEO Ms Bontle Mokoena, who set the tone for the day's engagement with an address on MICT SETA's strategic priorities, key achievements and the road ahead in advancing skills development across the sector.

In her capacity as Senior Manager: SSP, Ms Mokoena then unpacked the Sector Skills Plan (SSP) update, taking stakeholders through the latest insights shaping the Media and ICT sector. These ranged from key change drivers such as 4IR technologies, global trade dynamics, employment equity and the PESTEL environment, to the identification of scarce and critical skills.

The SSP remains a key roadmap for building a responsive, relevant and future-ready workforce. As MICT SETA delivers on its mandate, the focus remains clear: empowering young people, building sustainable skills pathways and positioning South Africa to be globally competitive.

Together with our stakeholders, we remain committed to driving skills development that creates future-ready opportunities for young South Africans.
