September 2006SETA Report to Select Committee on Labour and Public Enterprises 15 Future Plans for Organisation NOTES: In general, Provincial Growth and Development Strategies focus mainly on Mining, Tourism and Agriculture and do not recognize Insurance as one of the key skills to be focused on and developed. This is why the INSETA is pushing to make the public aware of the importance of Insurance and the funds available to get people qualified in this industry. CHALLENGES THE INSETA FACES RE INVOLVEMENT WITH PSDFs etc.  Few invitations to PGDS  If invitations come, INSETA is not on the agenda to address the forum  Little national sectoral representation Labour
