Background: The Moses Kotane Institute (MKI) is an entity of the KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Department of Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs (EDTEA).

MKI provides timely and accurate research to support the attainment of radically transformed, inclusive and sustainable economic growth in partnership with public and private sector.
Study Purpose: MKI invites applications from qualified applicants who will collect data on skills audit in KZN. The purpose of this study is to understand the skills status quo in KZN.

This will enable the decision makers to appropriately design their skills development interventions while informing the education and training sector about the curriculum, labour market demand and supply, and the provincial nuances with respect to skills in the various localities that are urban, peri-urban and rural.
