“As the Ministry responsible for leading the country’s skills revolution, we are committed to implementing the recommendations outlined in this Report. We will pursue key policy recommendations and action plans which include among other things the establishment of a National Skills Council, conducting regular skills audits and the implementation of the Triple Helix Model of Innovation. The transformed skills development ecosystem should be anchored on social dialogue and close collaboration between Government, industry, and academia to address skills gaps, the growing mismatch between skills that training institutions are producing, and the skills that the industry desperately needs. My Ministry also recognizes the crucial role of rural industrialization and indigenous knowledge systems in skills development and the necessity to decentralize skills training in the spirit of devolution, ‘leaving no one and no place behind’ in Zimbabwe’s developmental journey.” – Professor Paul Mavima, Minister – Skills Audit And Development
