Skills Programmes

A Skills Programme is an occupation-based learning programme aimed at building skills that have economic value, and which incorporates at least one unit standard. It is registered by a SETA and delivered by an accredited training provider and it leads to a qualification registered on the NQF.

Artisan Development

PSETA aims to build “a skilled and capable workforce for an efficient, effective, professionalized and developmental public service”. Central to this is embedding skills development in efforts to build priority state capabilities, as identified in Chapter 13 of the National Development Plan. One such priority is the “professional and technical” capabilities of the state.
