- Description
- This chapter shares insights about green skills demand research in South Africa, based on a 2015 study in coal mining. One purpose of that study was to develop methodology for green skills demand determination, and the chapter shares selected features of the multi-layered and multi-method research process used, including an extended contextual driver analysis and a value chain analysis. Some findings about what green skills are needed in coal mining are shared to contextualise and illustrate methodological insights. This chapter highlights the fact that whether or not a skill is scarce can be contested, and demonstrates how a laminated methodology can guide credible conclusions in such cases. It also introduces the value of ‘absenting absences’, a dialectic process that surfaced skills needs that are not-yet-obvious, but essential if mining is to achieve transformation towards sustainability.
