SETA Learnerships

What Is a SETA in South Africa?

A Sector Education and Training Authority (SETA) is a government-established organisation responsible for developing skills, promoting workplace training, and helping to reduce unemployment across various industries in South Africa.

SETAs:

  • Discover learnerships, internships, and skills programmes
  • Provide funding for youth development and training initiatives nationwide
  • Support artisan training, trade testing, and skills development
  • Monitor and maintain the quality of workplace-based learning
  • Award nationally recognised qualifications and certifications

By connecting education, training, and employment opportunities, SETAs play a vital role in preparing South Africans for the world of work.
