3rd September 2025Tx 4 EOIhowever the selection criteria for service providers is extremely constraining. Why ONLY accredited service providers are recognised. My NPO TTM Capacity building and consulting has spent more than 5 yrs mentoring NPOs on Governance, Finance, Risk Mngt and partnerships. We have worked in NGOs as employees for close to 20 yrs . DSD has trained us on the DSD Mentorship Model. Please revisit your selection criteria. Secondly when is this EOI covering the remaining 6 provinces not included here. Thanks

3rd September 2025HWSETA to please consider an internship or permanent work or bursary for futher study for a 23yr old born blind , graduated with a degree in Psychology from SACAP in 2020. I have been sending emails and phone calls to HWSETA since 2021. Reena Takoorpersadh knows this matter very well since she was working in the CEOs office then. The CEO promised, during the online National stakeholder Forum that she will follow up this matter . Nothing has materialised.

Thank you for the email, kindly note that HWSETA does not recruit learners/ students or beneficiaries directly for any funded programmes. HWSETA advertise funding (Expression of Interest) on an annual basis to HWSETA registered Employers, Public Universities and Public TVET colleges in South Africa and once they are approved for funding they recruit beneficiaries. The previous CEO left the HWSETA end of May 2025.
HWSETA advertises vacancies on the HWSETA website should they become available.
