In this episode, we cut through the confusion and explain how SETA grants work. From mandatory grants that help employers reclaim their skills levy to discretionary grants funding learnerships, bursaries, and workplace-based training, and special projects tackling urgent national needs, we cover it all. We break down where the money comes from, how to access real opportunities, and the impact these programmes are having across the country. Our guest, Ria Jordan, Manager for Mandatory Grants at Services SETA, shares insights and practical guidance straight from the source. We also spotlight the #Mathub’Olusha SME-Youth Placement Initiative, a powerful Services SETA Special Project fighting youth unemployment by connecting young people with SMEs. Our guest, Septi Bukula, joins us to unpack the project’s vision, success stories, and how it’s creating sustainable pathways for South Africa’s youth.
