The Construction Education and Training Authority (CETA) is allocating skills development training grants to the tune of approximately R374 -million to various entities ranging from employer associations, expert bodies, government departments, NGO’s, FET Colleges , public institutions and training providers.

Focus groups and marginalised groups such as women, young people, people with disabilities, rural-based people and military veterans are catered for as part of the CETA’s recognition of their general marginalisation.
This allocation follows a year long hiatus and moratoriums on project allocation that the Administrator had imposed while the organisation was cleaning up an environment which had become characterised by corruption and fraud against the organisation.

During this period the organisation revised some of its processes and procedures to ensure that financial allocations would be made to entities characterised by integrity and with the greatest potential to implement the projects successfully in the interest of the learners and prudent management of public monies uttermost.
“We are pleased and proud to have reached this milestone where we are able to make financial allocation for training in our sector with confidence, knowing that the resources we invest shall achieve the purpose of quality skills development, job preservation, job creation, poverty alleviation, economic development and nation building,” said Acting CEO of CETA Mrs Sonja Pilusa.
