    Adopting employer-drive human resource development as a strategy in bridging the skills gap in South Africa
    (University of Fort Hare, 2010-11-02) Samuel, Michael Olurunjuwon
    Skills shortage has been generally and consistently identified as the single most important constraint to accelerated and sustainable economic growth in South Africa. The government is targeting an annual economic growth rate of 7%, but economic analysts and experts have predicted that government may not be able to achieve this objective unless there is a remarkable transformation of the skills profile presently obtainable in the country's labour market. This has necessitated a growing concern that a skill crisis was becoming a 'binding constraint' on development, prompting new government ยท interventions prioritising ways to address skills shortages and mismatches.

    The relationship between the quality of employee training and development on service delivery.
    (University if Fort Hare, 2011-11) Mpofu, Mthokozisi
    Service delivery, by local municipal authorities, has proved to be a significant problem. One of the main problems affecting the efficient provision of basic services by municipalities has proven to be the poor performance of municipal employees. Municipalities are faced with the problem of how best to improve the provision of basic services within their communities. One way of improving the efficient and effective provision of basic services is through improved employee performance, which can be achieved through quality employee training and development programmes. This study seeks to investigate the relationship between the quality of employee training and development and service delivery in the Buffalo City Municipality. Thus the perceptions and opinions of both employees and residents of Buffalo City Municipality were investigated, in relation to service delivery issues and the quality and effect of training and development programmes on those who are employed by the Buffalo City Municipality.
