34. Ref: 11/HWSETA/01/04/05 Key Challenges for 2005 - 2010 • Legal challenges need to be reduced. • Spread of the discretionary funding allocation and to ensure that this is distributed equitably within reason. • Ensure that there is a balance and considered approach in funding a diverse group of sectoral stakeholders. • Design a track record of graduates on learnership programmes through a formal evaluation process to find out the extent to which they have become employed or self-employed. • Expanding the skills development agenda for the sector caught in the “second-economy” and to focus on how the HWSETA can make further contributions towards poverty alleviation and socio-economic improvement through the skills development agenda.

35. Ref: 11/HWSETA/01/04/05 Key Challenges for 2005 – 2010 cont. • Implementation of the new National Skills Development Strategy especially capacity and financial constraints. • Implementation of the Quality Management System for the HWSETA. • New legislation required that employers who have an annual payroll of less that R500,000, no longer have to make Skills Development Levy Contributions. However, these employers must still be encouraging to participate in Skills Development and must be accommodated from a reduced financial base. • Participation by stakeholders in the Northern Cape, North West, Mpumalanga and Free State in education and training activities still poses a big challenge. • The perceived complexity and inaccessibility of the provider accreditation criteria and process.

36. Ref: 11/HWSETA/01/04/05 Key Challenges for 2005 – 2010 cont. • Community based organisations whose involvement is motivated mainly by the social development challenges arising from the communities they serve, which makes it difficult for them to meet most of the accreditation requirements. • Monitoring of HWSETA constituent providers’ education and training activities poses an enormous challenge. This led to the need to outsource this function as an interim function.
