About
BRICS Future Skills
Our vision
Create a pipeline of skills that lead to future and emerging jobs for our youth.
Let’s not get left behind…South Africa should stop playing catch-up.
Let’s start planning for future jobs
One of the nine working groups of the BRICS Business Council – the BRICS Future Skills Group has a number of objectives to support the ambitions of increased trade between BRICS Countries.
These are:
- Create an Atlas (roadmap) of future jobs and skills needed in each sector
- Where skills gaps exist, collaborate with BRICS and other partners to deliver skills camps
- Compete in BRICS Skills Competitions to benchmark South African skills and augment South African curriculum gaps identified
- Share knowledge with BRICS Council partners, Higher Education and TVET partners to help build skills pathways towards future jobs
- Share career guidance tools – such as the Atlas – to help parents and youth prepare for the future jobs coming.
