The South African government has published the new Critical Skills List.
Key Points:
Additional Information: The Critical Skills List reflects skill sets that are deemed critical for South Africa and its economy. The list affects which occupations companies are eligible to recruit foreign workers for without needing to conduct labor market testing.
BAL Analysis: The announcement of an updated Critical Skills List is welcome news as the current list dates back to June 2014 and it did not sufficiently provide for South Africa’s skills requirements.
