Dear Stakeholder: Accredited Training Provider, Skills Development Facilitator
INFORMATION SHARING SESSION
You are cordially invited to attend a TWO-DAY information sharing session. The first session aims to
critically discuss issues pertaining to delivery of training programmes such as leanerships, placement of
learners, approach to the allocation of funds and the constraints, deliberate on the new quality assurance
landscape Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO) and Organising Framework for Occupations
(OFO) and the review and feedback on training provider forums. Various State departments will also be
invited to do presentations regarding possible funding models and initiatives within their respective
plans.
Please note that on the afternoon of the second day, the Skills Planning Department of AgriSETA will
discuss with Skills Development Facilitators (SDFs) issues such as scarce and critical skills, the impact of
the OFO on the completion of Workplace Skills Plans (WSP) and Annual Training Reports (ATR) as well as a
general training session on completing the WSP and ATR. Providers who are also registered as SDFs are
therefore advised to remain for this informative session and will be joined by other registered SDFs in the
sector.
Due to the nature of discussions, it will be in the best interest of your company to delegate the most
senior person(s) to attend the sessions.
