Includes bibliographical references (leaves 121-127). The metal and engineering industry is one of the most significant contributors to South Africa’s manufacturing employment and economic performance. In recent times though debate regarding the industry has centered on reported critical skills shortages, alluding to decreased employment and performance. Studies confirmed that skills shortages at artisan, technical, engineering and management levels existed with artisans representing the most critical skills shortage in the industry. This study evaluates the nature and extent of skills development taking place in a sample of metal and engineering firms located in the industry’s most significant province, Gauteng. Research was conducted through interviews with skills development representatives from a non-randomly selected sample of firms belonging to three categories in the metals beneficiation value chain, namely: raw material processing firms; intermediate product producing firms and finished product producing firms. 2015-01-06T11:59:07Z 2015-01-06T11:59:07Z 2009 Master Thesis Masters MSocSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11541 eng application/pdf Department of Sociology Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
