Abstract
The Zimbabwe education and training system, as is the case in any other emerging or developing nation, is experiencing problems and challenges resulting from changes in external factors such as technology, society’s values and work structures. There is a need for justifications and mechanisms to build sustainable local capacities for the provision of an effective and efficient education and training system. An outline of core competencies and key qualifications required by the Zimbabwe Information Technology (IT) industry in order to empower individuals and organizations to realize their full potential is an essential ingredient for Zimbabwe’s successful use of IT.
