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:
