--:--
This, the first podcast in the PSETA series, is hosted by REAL director Dr Presha
Ramsarup who explores the role of the Public Service Sector Education and Training
Authority (PSETA) in supporting the development of a capable state with its Chief
Executive Officer Bontle Lerumo. In exploring the PSETA’s role, Lerumo discusses some of the key challenges intermediaries like the PSETA face in getting skills “right” in the public service sector. Some challenges highlighted include the lack of alignment of planning processes with Lerumo pointing out that if government is to address the socio-economic challenges facing the country, then to build skilled public servants, more coherent planning processes are needed. She also pointed to interventions around rethinking the future of work and how to look at the skills profile of a high performing public service sector.
