Success is measured by the number of learners accessing WIL opportunities

Bank Seta has planned for learners entering the programme however they have did not plan for completions. The completion indicators are relevant to the mandate of the Seta as it will assist management in measuring performance/impact thereby achieving service delivery. Measuring completions will also assist in monitoring the funds/budget allocated to projects. The omissions on completions on these indicators appear to be inconsistent with other sub-Programmes that address similar interventions within Programme 3.

6.2.1 Strategic Objective: To conduct a responsive and credible research on skills development to inform policy development, development of qualifications and learning interventions in the local government sector
2.2 Number of research seminars held to communicate research findings with stakeholders.
Target: 4
The method/calculation of data needs to be more specific in respect of the research seminars conducted (Is it one per quarter or four seminars during the year).
Increase access to occupational directed programmes
employees completing AET per annum.
Target: 2000
The source/collection of data refers to: Certificate of attendance/completion or statement of results, or certificate from the entity. The TID is therefore not specific to what is required by using the word or. The latter should be expanded to be more specific which documents are required under which circumstances. This should be clearly documented per the TID.
Note: There are a number of indicators where the TID is not specific in respect of which information is required and therefore should be expanded to be more specific which documents are required under which circumstances. Findings were note raised for all indicators as management is requested to review all relevant indicators.

20. INSETA Strategic objective Performance indicator Comments
Programme 1: Administration
We noted that the INSETA have not included technical indicator descriptions for all programme 1 indicators. The following has been included for programme 1 indicators: “As per the Administrative goal have no technical indicator descriptions.”
Technical indicator descriptions are required as per Annexure E of the FMPPI of all indicators including programme 1 which is an administrative programme.
Support youth to obtain scarce and critical qualifications though bursaries, skills programmes and learnerships to access occupationally related qualifications
Number of youth completing Skills Programmes ( )
Target: 2450
Indicator: Number of youth completing Learnership Programmes ( )
The source/collection of data refers to: Attendance register. It is however unclear how an attendance register verifies whether the youth completed the skills programme but indicates only mere attendance. Should it not be certificates issued by ETQA that verifies completion of the skills programme.
Reference per the source/collection of data is only made to the: Learnership Closure reports but should also include certificates issued by ETQA that verifies completion of the skills programme.
