Abstract
Firms in South Africa are challenged to upgrade their technology and to innovate so that they can become more productive and competitive in a global and national economy. At the same time, they are challenged to create more jobs for sustainable and inclusive growth in the context of high unemployment and growing inequality. This means that the nature of the education, training and skills required is changing rapidly, challenging post-school education and training (PSET) organisations to be more flexible, adaptable and responsive.-
