2026 Skills Development: SETA Submissions.

Dear employer

SETAs have opened their annual submission window to submit Workplace Skills Plans (WSP)/Annual Training Reports (ATR) to benefit from available grants.

By submitting a WSP/ATR, you will benefit in the following ways:

• claim back 20% of your Skills Development Levy (SDL);

• highlight skills gaps in your organisation - the difference between the skills required for a job and the skills employees possess;

• implement training to minimise the identified skills gaps;

• maximise points earned under the Skills Development priority element for B-BBEE; and

• opportunity to apply for ‘discretionary grant’ funding to address ‘critical and scarce skills shortages’ identified in your industry during application windows. 

The deadline for the submissions is 30 April 2026.

Avoid delays in your preparations to ensure a successful application for your company.

Let NEASA assist you in compiling and submitting these reports to the relevant SETAs.

For assistance, email compliance@neasa.co.za or call 012 332 5350.
