The Health and Welfare Sector Education and Training Authority (HWSETA) is responsible for the education, training and skills development requirements of the health, social development and veterinary sectors.
HWSETA believes that skills development is about changing people’s lives, enhancing their employability, and aligning their skills to our economy.
A majority of completions were from learners that have completed skills-based training programmes 1340 (53%),
followed by work-based learning programmes 875 (34%) then bursary programme 333 (13%). The skills-based training
programmes offer short-courses to the workers hence the increase in number of completions. On the contrary, workbased learning and bursary programmes have a longer training period.
HWSETA extends the deadline for applications for Mandatory Grants for the 2026/2027 financial year from qualifying levy paying companies within the Health and Social Development Sectors. As prescribed
