Sectoral Skills Framework

A sectoral skills framework serves as a comprehensive tool for identifying the skills required in a sector; it specifies the skills needed for each job family within the sector’s value chains. The sectoral skills framework follows a systematic approach to identifying the skills needed in the sector: first, job groups were identified within the subsectors, followed by the identification of key job roles, career paths, and priority skills. 
Groups and Career Paths
