CETA’s commitment towards the Expanded Public Works Programme(EPWP)
CETA PROJECT SETUP CETA funds the training for group learnership schemes (labour intensive) 1. Construction Contractor NQF level 2 2. Construction Supervisors NQF level 4
The national target figure for the EPWP is 3000 CETA has committed R50 million (of which 10% is for the administration of the EPWP Learnership) CETA’s COMMITMENT TOWARDS THE EPWP
R50 million is allocated to the first 750 Learnership Programmes ( NQF 2 – Labour Intensive Construction Constructor and NQF 4- Labour Intensive Construction Supervisor) This R50 million is not per credit and R250 allowances pmts CETA’s EPWP COMMITMENT
The Department of Labour (sufficient to cover 750 Learnerships) National Skills Funding:The DoL has approved funding for R35, m. This amount can sustain 250 learners on the Learnership programme. Actual number of registered learners on this programme is 800. Funding has been secured for 1500 learnership agreementsThe shortfall that still requires funding is 1500.
THE WAY FORWARD: 1. CETA provides the actual funding for registered learners with respect to the R50 million and the R35 million as indicated above;2. A project proposal has been submitted by DPW via CETA to NSF for funding the remaining 1500. 3. The actual registered learners will be contracted to EPWP
Formulate a communication strategy that will impact on all affected stakeholders involved in the EPWP; CETA has already communicated to the National Department of Public Works that CETA can continue to register Learnerships but cannot guarantee funding. It is required that SETA register a Learnership but not necessarily commit to funds for the programmes. CETA STRATEGY TOWARDS A 3000 LEARNER TARGET
