SETAs play a central role in addressing unemployment and improving workforce readiness across South Africa.
Key Functions of SETAs:
- Register and certify learnerships and internships
- Fund youth training programmes across industries
- Support artisan development and trade testing
- Monitor the quality of workplace-based training
