The SETA opened provincial offices in three provinces during November ’05.
These provinces include KZN, LP and EC.
These provinces are actively participating in the PSDFs.
Invitations have been extended to the SETA to participate in the provinces where no physical offices exist.
These provinces include NW,FS and NC.
The SETA is making plans for the participation in these structures in the remaining provinces which include WC, GP and MP.

PSDF Comments (cont.)
Labour
Currently there are minimal linkages between the SETA SSP and the provincial skills development priorities. Most of the Skills Development Forums only highlight ECD and ABET to an extent, but the priorities are more in the technical fields such as engineering, construction, tourism etc.
Unaccredited providers are being used for the delivery of learning programmes in the provinces.
To improve quality, accredited providers could be utilised to do the training.
All parties should be involved during the planning to align individual SETA priorities.
