Grant Funding Applications

Many businesses aren’t aware of the funding that is available to them for Skills Development and Training, or may not have the time and expertise to apply for funding with the SETA.

There are two types of funding available for businesses: Discretionary Grants and Pivotal Grants.

TDI assists clients with the full grant funding process, in order to maximize the potential of receiving funds, and in turn, implement relevant training interventions to upskill employees and increase their value to the organization.

SETA’s were set up by Government to:

Identify skills development needs in each sector
Oversee the development and implementation of strategic sector skills development plans
Approve proposed training interventions with organizations
Manage the standard for education and training within an agreed national framework
Facilitate with the payments of grants to levy skills payers

For an organization to be able to claim back from SETA, a Skills Development Facilitator (SDF) needs to be appointed, who is required to be registered with a SETA body relevant to the organization they are applying for grants for. Once an SDF has been appointed, they will assist in compiling a Workplace Skills Plan for the business, which is then submitted to SETA.
