Overview
South Africa’s skills ecosystem is guided by the National Plan for Post‑School Education and Training (NPPSET) — a long-term transformation plan shaping how SETAs, employers, and training institutions design, fund, and deliver skills programmes.
Most institutions are aware of the NPPSET shift. But full alignment — strategic, operational, and systemic — remains inconsistent.
