SETAs
Sector Education and Training Authorities (SETAs)
Sector Education and Training Authorities (SETAs), established in terms of section 9(1) of the Skills Development Act of 1998, are critical to South Africa’s skills development landscape. SETAs form part of a larger strategy and have the following objectives:
- Developing the skills of the South African workforce
- Increasing levels of investment in training and education
- Encouraging employers to, amongst others, use the workplace as an active learning environment and to provide employees with opportunities to acquire new skills
- Encouraging workers to participate in learnership and other training programmes
- Redressing the disadvantages brought about by unfair discrimination through training and education
- Ensuring the quality of education and training in and for the workplace
- Assisting work-seekers to find work, retrenched workers to re-enter the marketplace and employers to find quality employees
