Thesis (MTech. degree in Business Information Systems.)--Tshwane University of Technology, 2012. / Organisations all over the world require skilled people to gain competitive advantage over their competition but, there is currently a shortage of specialised skills. This is evident in the high unemployment rate within the various countries, especially with the graduates. Therefore, governments, industries and institutions of higher learning have started to create initiatives that are meant to bridge the skills gap. However, the skills gap is still open. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to investigate the factors that are causing the skills gap to remain, especially between the institutions of higher learning who are the producers of specialised skilled people and industry who require the specialised skilled people. Hence the research question: What are the factors that needs to be considered in addressing the skills gap between industry requirements and institution of higher learning curriculum development at an IT undergraduate level?
