STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE 1: SKILLS DEVELOPMENT TOWARDS PRIORITY OCCUPATIONS
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE PERFORMANCE INDICATOR 1 (OUTPUT-BASED)
Indicator title
Number of NSF-funded learners that completed their education and training towards priority occupations over the 5-year strategic period.
The NSF will provide a detailed breakdown of the number of learners that it has funded during each financial year on learning pathways towards priority occupations. The detailed breakdown will be included in the NSF annual report and outline occupations that the fund is contributing towards.
The education and training of learners towards priority occupations are critical for the growth of the economy, social development priorities and also towards key areas aimed at developing thinking citizens, who can function effectively, creatively and ethically as part of a democratic society, but which may not necessary be directly linked to economic growth.
By focusing the NSF’s funding towards education and training of learners on learning pathways towards priority occupations will ensure that the fund contributes towards the various economic growth strategies, plans and initiatives of government and thereby achieve strategic goal 1: A skilled and capable workforce for an inclusive growth path.
