The Education and Skills Development (ESD) Research Programme conducts research in the domains of education and skills development. The education domain involves research in primary, secondary and tertiary education giving attention to access, quality, relevance and equity in education. The skills development domain encompasses research on labour markets, skills and human resource development to address national imperatives of improving equitable access to skills acquisition, raising employment opportunities and sustaining economic growth. ESD seeks to appoint the research trainees either on 24 months (Masters Level) or 36 months (PhD level) contract in the Pretoria office. The trainees will be linked to the Labour Market Intelligence Partnership (LMIP) that is managed through ESD for the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET). Research is aimed at understanding the supply of and demand for skills in the labour market in South Africa. There is close collaboration to secure institutional development for all partners including DHET. |
