REVISED
2020/2021 ANNUAL PERFORMANCE PLAN (APP) In response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the W&RSETA has revised its 2020/2021 APP to reprioritise skills development interventions. This reprioritisation was also necessitated by the Skills Development Levy holiday for companies which has reduced the SETA’s projected income from R1.44 billion to R786 million. Interventions including the ILDP, RMDP, and Recognition of Prior Learning have been deferred to the following year.

The revised APP has prioritised the following key focus areas: • Job retention for employees through re-skilling or multi-tasking of activities for possible changes in business processes. • Increased number of skills programmes to address re-skilling and multi-skilling of employees to adapt to new business processes and COVID-19 requirements. • Implement a project to train 600 graduates to assist companies with the screening of customers and learners, and health and hygiene management at wholesale and retail companies over a 12-month period. • Increase the number of learners completing programmes. • Assist vulnerable youth to gain access to opportunities for education, training and employment. • Support vulnerable sectors of the economy, particularly SMMEs, informal traders, cooperatives and NGOs. • Implement reasonable accommodation measures to support the sector with COVID-19 regulations, including the provision of Personal Protective Equipment and through the C19 TERS.
