MAKE THE SHIFT

Make the Shift and Join the BIG Migration to QCTO!

QCTO has a primary directive to address the growing gap between in-demand skills and unemployment. South Africa is migrating to fertile pastures with the implementation of in-design work-based education that is occupation specific, current and relevant to the growing trends both locally and globally. In response to our biggest skills priorities to eradicate unemployment, KLM Empowered is heeding the call to lead the migration from NQF to QCTO in partnership with you, our valued clients. The advantage of occupational qualifications, overseen by the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO), is that they are industry-based, so learners who hold this kind of qualification are more likely to be considered for industry-related jobs. Occupational qualifications will thus address the skills crisis in South Africa by strengthening the ‘occupational arm’ of the NQF and providing an alternative pathway for young people and workers to access learning, work experience, and employment.

Of course, as South Africa moves forward into the age of occupational qualifications, the game is changing, and so are the rules. We’re happy to let you know, though, that we’ve got you covered. As a future-forward project management and purpose-driven education partner to your business, we established a QCTO Task Team a number of years ago, and they’ve been working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that we are ready to follow the rains with you.
