Background
The FP&M SETA is inviting applications for discretionary grants from qualifying
member companies and other organisations operating within the sub-sectors of
the FP&M SETA (clothing, footwear, forestry, furniture, general goods, leather,
packaging, printing, publishing, print media, pulp and paper, textiles and wood
products).
The discretionary grants are being made available to promote skills
development for employees so that meaningful programmes of workplace skills
development can be implemented and to assist unemployed people to gain
access to skills development opportunities and the world of work. The grants
are targeted to address national priorities as set out in NSDS III and sectoral
priorities as identified in the FP&M SETA Sector Skills Plan (as informed by the
FP&M SETA Scarce and Critical Skills List)
