Abstract

MAISIRI, W.; DARWISH, H.  and  VAN DYK, L.. An Investigation of Industry 4.0 Skills Requirements. S. Afr. J. Ind. Eng. [online]. 2019, vol.30, n.3, pp.90-105. ISSN 2224-7890.  http://dx.doi.org/10.7166/30-3-2230.

The Industry 4.0 wave is built on technological advancement that is bringing about significant change. The impact of Industry 4.0 is being felt across all industries, including the education sector. During the 2019 State of the Nation address, the President of South Africa pointed out that the government was seeking to respond to the change in skills requirements. In this paper, a systematic literature review will be performed to investigate Industry 4.0 skills requirements in the engineering profession and the role of capability development in meeting Industry 4.0 requirements. An exploration of the impact of Industry 4.0 on technical institutions as opposed to academic institutions will also be discussed. This paper incorporates this exploratory investigation into detailed research on developing a skills development framework that seeks to bridge the gap between Industry 4.0 skills requirements and development in South Africa.
