The Work Skills unit is registered as an accredited training pro- vider with the ETDPSETA, LGSETA, CATHS- SETA and FP&MSETA. Many of our aims are described by UNE- SCO in the 2030 plan, particularly SDG 4, that compels nations to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education, and pro- mote lifelong learning opportunities for all, including substantially increasing the number of youth and adults who have rel- evant skills, including technical and voca- tional skills, for employment, decent jobs and entrepreneurship; eliminating gen- der disparities in education; and ensuring equal access to all levels of education and vocational training for the vulnerable, in- cluding persons with disabilities and chil- dren in vulnerable situations.
