The introduction to the NSDP states that "The NSDP outlines the future roles of the Sector Education and Training Authorities ( "SETAs "), the National Skills Fund ( "NSF "), the National Skills Authority (NSA), and the Quality Council for Trade and Occupations and the improvements necessary to develop more effective skills planning mechanisms; ad the roles of social partners in supporting formal skills development as part of PSET " (NSDP, p. 5).
JET agrees that an integrated PSET system in which SETAs play a crucial role is critical – the DHET should consider the opportunities and constraints of the current SETA-TVET arrangement and ensure that there is synergy between the two entities.
