CAPACITY BUILDING

In collaboration with AAT (SA), a partnership between the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) and the Association of Accounting Technicians, BANKSETA has launched a pilot project to capacity build seven FET institutions in the level three Accounting Technicians qualification and take nominated lecturers through the qualification, but at level four. The initial intake is 300 learners and 35 lecturers in seven provinces, and the project provides additional support to enhance the learners’ employability and facilitate their placement with host employers for practical experience. In Phase 2, the accredited TVET colleges will be responsible for the training of approximately 500 learners.
