SETA PROVINCIAL ACTIVITIESKey Achievements 1.1.2 Projects SSP

• The SSP review identified an acute shortage of skills in engineering and municipal technical services. The LGSETA response to this has been to initiate a bursary scheme for municipal employees, currently in possession of a national technical diploma in engineering who wish to upgrade their qualification to a B Tech degree in any of the engineering fields linked to municipal functions. Preference was given to historically disadvantaged individuals from smaller municipalities. The bursary scheme worth approximately R 500 000 p.a is administered by the SA Institution for Civil Engineers on behalf of the LGSETA. The bursary scheme currently has 20 beneficiaries.

Internships• Provision has been made for 90 recently graduated civil engineering interns to be supported by means of

internship grants given to municipalities keen to receive such students. Placement is being done by the SA Institution for Civil Engineers in conjunction with the Municipal Infrastructure directorate at DPLG.

•• Labour Intensive Construction: EPWP• The LGSETA, in support of the Expanded Public Works Programme led by the Dept of Public Works and

implemented through the Municipal Infrastructure Grants, is training some 2100 senior technical officials within municipalities in the design and implementation of labour intensive construction processes. The labour intensive construction unit standards have been registered by the Construction SETA which is assuming responsibility for the quality assurance of the training and the certification of the successful learners. It is an 18 month project with a value of approximately R 9, 6 million. Approximately 1 100 learners have been trained on this programme to date.

Municipal Finance• With the advent of the Municipal Finance Management Act, the demand of the Municipal

Finance Management Learnership has acutely increased, with the National Treasury signing a MoU with the LGSETA to implement the Level 6 Learnership. The LGSETA has developed and registered an NQF Level 5 two year National Diploma and a Level 4 qualification have gone on public comment phase.

• There are 291 learners currently in the Basic Finance Level 5 Learnership in three Provinces nationwide. Western Cape, Municipalities in the Eden District has about 114 learners, Gauteng has a total of 117 and Mpumalanga has 60 learners. The Learnership in question started in 2004 and is at its final stages at this point. It is important to note that the Basic Municipal Finance Learnership is scheduled for 18 months.
