KEY SUBMISSION ISSUES – WSP/ATR Cont. Training Committee Meeting Minutes: Not uploaded on the system; Uploaded on the system but not on the company letterhead; Irrelevant content on the training committee meeting minutes; No evidence of approval of the WSP/ATR by the Training Committee; Minutes not signed by relevant signatories ( e.g. Employer/Employee labour representative are compulsory for training committee only for large and medium companies ).

SUPPORT DURING SUBMISSION TETA staff will be available to provide guidance on the system during the time of submission; System queries can be emailed to mgapplications@teta.org.za or relevant chamber; Dedicated team to assist with issues relating to the system and will be available until the 30th of April at 10:00PM; SDF manual will be placed on TETA Website; Chambers will be available for one-on-one meetings to assist with submission related issues.

MARITIME SUBSECTOR SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS Companies applying for a fishing right or quota must be aware of the following: In the application form, section 6 measuring transformation includes five of seventeen criteria directly related to SETA relationship that could improve or reduce the applicants overall score; The scoring requires companies to comply with Skills Development legislation including the submission of an ATR/WSP to the SETA the company is registered with; Fishing companies are also scored on whether or not they implement learnerships (formally registered with a SETA) Often small companies write the levy off as a tax, fishing companies cannot afford to do so if they wish to continue fishing; Fishing companies are advised to contact the maritime chamber (malcolm@teta.org.za / 072 907 0754) This short term view needs to be changed as the long term benefits of participation will assist in the awarding of fishing rights/quotas whose value far exceeds the direct financial relationship with the SETA.  

CRITICAL DOCUMENTS TO NOTE ON THE TETA WEBSITE Mandatory Grants Policy SDF Manual 2019 SDF Presentation Guideline for training committee minutes SDF appointment letter template Request for extension guideline/template These will be uploaded on the Website, should you need to refer, the manual will assist.
