SECTOR EDUCATION TRAINING AUTHORITY

31 May 2016 By PDSNET

SETA's are probably one of the worst innovations of the ANC government. They were initially aimed to create a skilled labour force, but have turned into massive bureaucratic structures that achieve little or no training. There is supposed to be one SETA for each industry (over 20 in all) and companies in that industry are required to pay a 1% fee on their monthly salary bill if their annual sales are more than R500 000. Many SETA's are badly run and have received qualified audit reports. Companies have ended up doing their own training anyway.
