SASSETA SASSETA is an acronym that stands for Safety and Security Sector Education and Training Authority. It is a public enterprise that reports to the Department of Higher Education and Training, and its primary role is to stimulate and facilitate skills development in the SAFETY AND SECURITY SECTOR in South Africa. The SASSETA is one of 23 SETAs in South Africa. The details of the other Setas can be obtained from the Department of Labour website www.labour.gov.za. 4 SECTION 1: SCARCE AND TOP UP SKILLS 1.1 Scarce and Top Up Skills Scarce Skills refer to occupations in which there is a scarcity of qualified and experienced people, currently or anticipated in the future, either (a) because such skilled people are not available or (b) they are available but do not meet employment criteria. • Scarcity can arise as a result of absolute scarcity and/or relative scarcity. • Absolute scarcity refers to when suitable people are not available at all. - Examples: A new or emerging occupation; people have chosen not to pursue training or careers in the occupation. • Relative scarcity occurs when suitably qualified people are available but do not meet other employment criteria. - Examples: People are unwilling to work outside of urban areas (geographical location); there are a few candidates with the requisite skills, qualifications and experience from the designated groups available to meet the skills requirements of the organizations (equity considerations) or there are people in education and training who are in the process of acquiring the necessary skills but where the lead time will mean that they are not available in the short term to meet replacement demand (long training lead time).
