Skills needed in the job market
The high rate of job availability in an industry is determined by the need for relevant skills.
In Nelspruit so far this year, skills in high demand are those in financial positions such as chartered accountants, mechanical engineering, process engineering or production management and the medical field, Michelle Botha, of Ukuthula Staffing, told Lowvelder .
According to CareerJunction, skills that were highly sourced in the beginning of the year in the country were for professions in the architecture, engineering, building & construction, IT, business & management sectors.

However, the rate of demand differs in every sector. Botha added that the skills were sought after because these are expanding industries, and there is a shortage of these skills.
Furthermore, she explained that the demand for the skills and availability of these jobs are likely not to decline in the second quarter of this year, because they make an impact on the bottom line.
