The SSDS is a bottom up approach targeting industry associations to meet the skill development needs of their members, by providing them with the opportunity to mount, develop and implement specific skill development programmes based on common needs through a clustering approach. Skills needs can be identified in a number of ways, namely through TNAs, focus group discussions, consultation with industry association members among others

Through the clustering approach, enterprises will be able to share costs and availability of resource persons among themselves which they will not have been able to do on their own. This approach can also contribute to providing a strategic skill development direction.
