14. 3. Equity Targets
Skills development equity targets are determined as follows:
- 85% of total number of learners trained must be
black
- 54% must be women
- 4% must be people living with disabilities
In 2008/9 the ETDP SETA facilitated the implementation of training to 9466 learners in learning programmes, including ABET levels 1 – 4, bursaries, internships, skills programmes and workplace experience 14

15. Equity profile breakdown
Entry to all learning programmes
8604 (90.8%) of learners trained were black, 862 (9.2%) were white, 6052 (63.9%) were female, 171 (1.8%) were people with disabilities and 5122 (54.1%) were youth
Programme completions
A total of 4399 learners (both employed and unemployed) completed various programmes, 4116 (93.5%) were black, 283 (6.5%) were white, 2671 (60.7%) were female, 61 (1.3%) were people with disabilities and 1735 (39.4%) were youth 15

17. ETD SECTOR PLANS TO SUPPORT TRAINING LAY OFF SCHEME
SECTION B
ETD SECTOR PLANS TO SUPPORT TRAINING LAY OFF SCHEME 17

18. 4. Background
- ETD sector has not fully felt the impact of the recession as yet
ETDP SETA’s involvement in the 1st phase of the TLS implementation will prepare it for the knock-on effect of the economic down turn in its sector
The SETA plan will address the short, medium and long term interventions 18 18 18

19. Background ...cont
Job losses in other sectors would also have a knock-on effect in the ETD sector since these employees are parents of children in schools (both private and public), FET colleges and HET institutions
There are already signs that ECD centres (mainly levy exempted and private ETD providers) are beginning to feel the impact 19

20. 5. ETDP SETA interventions
Short Term Measures
In 2008/9 the SETA collected R m in revenue (therefore, job losses in the sector will mean less revenue for the ETDP SETA)
The August 2009 Board approved the support of the TLS and mandated the Executive Committee to develop an implementation plan
Given the urgency of the matter an immediate available R30m is to be made available towards the implementation of TLS . 20

21. ETDP SETA interventions
Short Term Measures ... cont
It is envisaged that the money will be used for training on generic workplace skills in the form of skills programmes in areas identified by employers 21 21 21

22. 6. Current scenario
If employment is said to have contracted by in the 2nd quarter of 2009 to 13.37m (Fin24.com, 8/9/2009), the ETDP SETA can predict potential job losses of about employees which is approximately 6% of
The provider training fees for employees on skills programmes will cost about R96m, R6000 per person per programme), excluding the training allowances
- Based on an assumption that the training allowance is pegged at 50% of the employee’s basic salary or wage to a maximum of R per month for three months which gives R Therefore, the ETDP SETA will in total need to secure about R360m from the NSF for training allowances 22

23. 7. Short term measures
Based on the available R30m, the ETDP SETA will participate in the scheme by providing training to about 5000 employees on skills programmes (responsible for funding provider training costs at an estimated cost of R6000 per person per programme and apply for
R from the NSF for salaries for three months. 23

24. 8. Medium and long term measures
Currently preparing to conduct consultative sessions with its stakeholders, so that a comprehensive plan that responds to this challenge could be developed
The plan which will be informed by research and taking into account the prescripts of NSDS III will seek to outline among others the following:
Provisioning of advice to training options across sectors
Development of relevant programmes and qualifications
Channelling of funds towards the development and appointment of assessors and moderators
Specifying the role(s) that each social partner in the sector should play, namely: DoE, private employers, labour, PSCBC, CCMA and the NSF 24

25. 9. Future: EMPLOYABILITY
- A single framework that holds the key to how our country can build a work force that is competent, flexible, productive, able to move vertically and horizontally in the same or different industries/companies.
- Workplace learning- work integrated learning , a high skilled approach to economic development 25

26. 10. Process for applying for TLS
The ETDP SETA will entertain any form of source request for the facilitation and funding of training that comes through any of the following modes:
Agreements that emanate from a CCMA process in terms of Section 189 and Section 189A
Agreements that emanate from parties in the labour market not involved in a CCMA process, and
Through requests for training layoff that come from parties in the labour market not involved in a CCMA process 26 26 26
