FET College Collaboration
SASSETA - your partner in skills development
SASSETA has joined hands with the rest of other SETA’s in supporting the Minister of Higher Education and Training’s broader vision of reviving the FET Sector
We have set ourselves a strategic goal of ensuring that by 2015 the FET Colleges will be responsive to the needs of the sector
We have thus far signed Memoranda of Agreement with the following FET Colleges:
Gert Sibande
Nkangala
Ehlanzeni
Opening of Regional Offices
SASSETA - your partner in skills development
The Department of Higher Education and Training has directed the SETA’s to partner with FET Colleges in opening up Regional Offices
SASSETA has been directed to KZN to partner with Amajuba FET College, Elangeni FET College and Ethekwini FET College
Progress has been achieved in this regard in that all the 3 Colleges have been visited but it transpired that Ethekwini FET College is the only College that has adequate facilities to accommodate SASSETA in KZN
Arrangements have been made such that SASSETA will be using their office space free of charge while only paying cost for water and electricity
The intended date for the launch of the Office was February 2013 but has since been delayed by the approval processes of Regional Structure
The challenge of placement of FET Graduates has made us to seek a collective solution with our employers
DHET has requested SASSETA to place 100 FET College graduates in our sector for 2013 academic year
The 100 have since been successfully placed at the Legal Aid Board, POPCRU and SAPS
Special thanks to our employers and stakeholders for this collective effort in responding to our social ills Invitation is extended to other stakeholders to work closely with us in responding to NSDS 111 imperatives
