SETAs important in reducing unemployment rate: SA Minister

Date: Apr 23, 2024

The South African Higher Education and Training, Science, and Innovation Minister, Blade Nzimande, says he is pleased that the Sector Education and Training Authority (SETAs) have built strong relationships with TVET colleges.

This collaboration aims to address the pressing issue of unemployment in the nation

Speaking during the SETA Skills Summit in Boksburg on Gauteng’s Eastrand, Nzimande says SETAs play an important role in the transition from tertiary institutions to the workplace.

“One of the biggest challenges we are facing in our country is what we call the transition from an educational institution to the workplace. That transition is one of the most challenging things that we are facing, and SETAs, with their internships and learnerships, amongst others, are very important in the reduction of unemployment.”
