Our History

ESETA has been in existence since year 2000 as the SETA to address the following sub-sectors: electricity, nuclear, renewable energy and electrical contracting, and in 2005, its scope was extended to include water sub-sector.

ESETA has been partnering with the stakeholders and interest groups within the energy sector in facilitating the skills development needed in order to meet the skills demand of the sector.

This is done through the Labour Market research conducted in terms of our Chapter 4 of the Sector Skills Plan.

We then analyze the information gathered and benchmark it with the information received through the Workplace Skills Plans and Annual Training Reports .

The information is gathered to assist the SETA to facilitate the development and the implementation of appropriate learning programs such as ABET programs, skills programs, learnerships and apprenticeships.
