The survey can also be taken anonymously, with privacy guaranteed. According to professor Barry Dwolatzky, the sensitive nature of the requested information led to the option of anonymity.

The survey is divided in two. One part is aimed at individual respondents, to find out about their personal experiences. The other part is for companies, to get their perspective of where the skills crisis stands.

The survey results will be released at an ICT skills seminar, on 16 September, at the Southern Sun on Grayston. The event is aimed at IT professionals and anyone involved in ICT procurement and recruitment. It will feature a panel of experts who will debate ICT skills challenges and opportunities in SA.
