Real Estate Investment Management branch skills audit and training needs assessment report

This skills audit was conducted within the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure (DPWI) to support DPWI's commitment to developing a skilled and capable workforce. This aligns with broader national directives, including the 2023 State of the Nation Address call to professionalize the public service and the goals of the National Development Plan (NDP) 2030. The primary objective of this skills audit is to assess the current skills profile of the REIM Branch staff, identify key skills gaps and training needs relative to the Branch's strategic mandate and operational requirements, and provide recommendations for targeted skills development interventions. This audit focused on staff at the Middle Management Service (MMS) and Senior Management Service (SMS) levels within the REIM Branch. The data was collected using an online survey administered between February and March 2025. The participation rate was 60% (64 out of 106 officials), providing a sufficiently indicative baseline for the Branch. It is important to note that this summary contains a fraction of the detailed nuances and analyses presented in the full report.
