The Services SETA has launched a new Project Management Unit to improve the delivery of skills training programmes in South Africa.
The move aims to fix delays, incomplete courses and slow certification that have left many participants without qualifications.
Officials say the unit will ensure training projects are properly managed and completed on time.
They add that the goal is to turn skills funding into real job opportunities and help reduce unemployment.

Cape Town Tourism Chief Marketing Officer Briony Brookes says the entity’s campaign that won gold at the 2026 TITAN Brand Awards was recognised for its authentic approach, showcasing the city through residents’ lived experiences rather than scripted tourism content.
Cape Town Tourism won gold at the 2026 TITAN Brand Awards for its “My Cape Town” campaign in the Best Visual Storytelling Series category.
Brookes says the win reflects Cape Town’s global appeal and promotes inclusive, community-driven tourism that supports the local economy.
