The Safety and Security Sector Education and Training Authority (SASSETA) was established in terms of the Skills Development Act, No. 97 of 1998 with the mandate to promote and facilitate skills development for the safety and security sector in South Africa.
The Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation relicensed the SETAs for the period of 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2030, to operate within the skills development framework articulated in the National Skills Development Plan (NSDP) 2030.
The SETA’s mandate is therefore to facilitate the skills development of multiple generations in the safety and security sector by making an active contribution towards the realisation of the National Skills Development Plan (NSDP) vision of ‘An Educated, Skilled and Capable Workforce for South Africa’.
SASSETA also seeks to improve access to occupations in high demand and priority skills aligned to supporting economic growth, employment creation and social development while seeking to address systemic considerations. This should be done through the provision of need based job-oriented programmes to assist the individuals in obtaining jobs and employment opportunities.
