2025 SETA EMPLOYER INTERVIEWS

This 2025 employer interviews proposal describes how the SETAs and the DHET could obtain a more comprehensive view of the country’s 21 sectors through direct and systematic engagement with employers.

Abstract

The purpose of this conceptual framework is to outline the approach and methodology that can be
used by the SETAs to undertake interviews with employers, and how the DHET could integrate the
information obtained through these interviews for broader planning across the South African economy.
This concept note also includes the basic interview schedule that the SETAs are expected to use to
conduct the employer interviews.
