SETA PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT SYSTEM Overview A comprehensive and detailed performance assessment system has been developed and is in the process of being used to assess the performance of the SETAs for the period. The total system is a fully integrated model that will eventually measure SETAS across three dimensions:

The Outputs of SETA activities (e.g. number of learners) against annual negotiated targets specified in annual service level agreements. The Outcomes or Impact of SETA activities (e.g. number of learners placed in employment) over the medium to long term verified through research process conducted as part of he Departments Research, Monitoring and Evaluation partner The accuracy and currency of all SETA data verified on site by the relevant Department personnel through regular and planned quality assurance processes. SETA PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT SYSTEM Dimensions

Skills Development Act as amended –Mandate National Skills Development Strategy –National Targets Service Level Agreement Regulations –Framework for SLA Service Level Agreement & Schedules –Operationalise SLA Performance Assessment Scorecard –Measurement Methodology SETA PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT SYSTEM Elements

Performance Assessment scorecard Guideline – detailed explanatory document that strives to remove all ambiguity from the NSDS and allows SETAs to achieve effective results in an effective manner. The guideline also serves as a capacity building and development document for all SETA Stakeholders. SETA PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT SYSTEM Implementation
