Research and Skills Planning Unit
Research informs SETA’s decision-making and skills development priorities, giving it a competitive edge. As a result, the primary mission of the research unit is to conduct research and develop planning documents.
It conducts research to update the SSP and other strategic documents. The Research Agenda provides a list of research topics/themes that are updated annually.
