PSETA provides bursary funding in skills priority areas identified in the PSETA Sector Skills Plan.  Bursaries can be accessed by both employed and unemployed people.  Bursaries for employed are awarded to PSETA registered employers for the training of their employees in PSETA scarce and critical skills.  Bursaries for unemployed are awarded to Public TVET Colleges and Higher Education Institutions who then apply their criteria for the selection of learners to participate in PSETA bursaries.  PSETA does not award bursaries directly to individuals
