In addition to the public comment process under the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) - remember you have until 31 January to submit written comments - the National Skills Authority (NSA) and the 9 Provincial Skills Development Forums (PSDFs) have scheduled public hearings. Business, labour, providers, academics, research institutions, professional bodies are all invited.

Please see attached the schedule of Provincial hearings - dates, venues, and contact persons should you require more details.

Let's make a strong showing - all skills-universe members block out the date now. Come prepared to make positive constructive suggestions on how we can more forward.

You can still access the NSDP call for comment document from the Downloads section of our page - or the NSA website.
