  3. Background to the LGSETA • The LGSETA was formed in terms of the Skills Development Act of 1998 • Purpose of the Act was to provide an institutional framework to devise and implement national, sector and workplace strategies to improve skills • To integrate those strategies within the NQF • To provide for learnerships that lead to recognised occupational qualifications • To provide for the financing of skills development

  4. Background to the LGSETA • The financing of skills development is done in two ways : • The mandatory grant – through the development, submission and approval of the WSP and the ATR • The discretionary grant – employers, government departments may apply – discretionary grant funding may either be grant based or project based

  5. Discretionary Grant Focus Areas

  7. Discretionary Grant Criteria: • Discretionary grant funded activity must be reflected in the WSP, and must contribute to the achievement of the IDP • Application for discretionary grant may be submitted with the WSP, or by 30 November each year • Majority of the training should focus on the employed – aimed at improving municipal performance

  8. Discretionary Grant Criteria: • Training for the unemployed should link to achievement of IDP and LED strategy • Or should result in employment or sub- contracting to the municipality i.e should be occupationally directed • Learnerships quality assured by other SETAs are eligible for LGSETA funding eg CETA, ESETA

  9. Discretionary Grant Criteria: • In addition to direct engagement with municipalities re discretionary grants the LGSETA also implements training in particular scarce and critical skill areas through parties such as : SAICE, DBSA • Eg SAICE is engaged to implement a bursary scheme for municipal employees in civil engineering – upgrade to BTech • Implement a mentorship programme • Implement an internship programme • AMEU ?
