What is the Sector Skills Plan? The Sector Skills Plan is a framework within which PSETA identifies key priorities and critical skills development trends, objectives and priority areas. It must provide a sector profile and analysis of the demand for, and supply of skills in the Public Service sector to inform a responsive intervention of priority skills development in the sector. In terms of the Skills Development Act a SETA must: Develop a 5-year Sector Skills Plan (SSP) (aligned to NSDS): Annually update the SSP through research, stakeholder consultation & Identify HTVs and skills gaps through the Workplace Skills Plan (WSP) analysis. Develop a Strategic Plan (SP) and Annual Performance Plan (APP) that informs the implementation of the SSP. Cutting Edge Skills for Quality Public Services

Background PSETA has been allocating funds utilising an open call process. An advert was placed in the public platform to invite qualifying institutions. Funds were allocated to provider who qualified based on the criteria and guidelines This process, though honourable, presented al lot of challenges due to the nature of our stakeholders/ beneficiaries Delays in contract signing and subsequent implementation by stakeholders Delays and difficulties in procuring training providers by stakeholders Evidence submitted not always supporting the payment requirements Cutting Edge Skills for Quality Public Services
Background Cont Payments not submitted on time High levels of contract extensions These challenges have had a negative impact on PSETA SLA targets are negatively impacted, thereby impacting to the overall performance of the SETA Allocated funds do not move as per the project plans Commitments get distorted and attracts audit qualification Costs escalates due to excessive extensions Cutting Edge Skills for Quality Public Services
PSETA Strategic Funding Approach Partnership Forums Higher Education Institution Provincial Government (Office of the Premier) Lead National Departments Training intermediaries (TVETs, Academies, HEIs, NSG) Memorandum of Agreements (JVAs) Cutting Edge Skills for Quality Public Services
