PSETA Podcast Series EP7: Dr Glynnis Vergotine

This, the seventh podcast in the PSETA series, is hosted by REAL researcher Themba Tshabalala who explores the notion of jobs, occupations and qualifications in the public service sector together with Glynnis Vergotine.

During the discussion, Vergotine explains that the research was embarked upon so as to develop a framework for mapping jobs to occupations within the public service sector. This was achieved by exploring the links between jobs, qualifications and occupations and how to align work tasks of a job, the core knowledge and qualifications of an occupation and the contextual needs of specific departments within the sector – this all with the aim of assisting the PSETA in supporting education and training interventions in the sector and guiding departments in identifying skills requirements.
