FPM SETA Qualifications and Scarce Skills

FPM SETA Qualifications and Scarce Skills. FPM scarce skills tell you where job opportunities are. If you see a job that you like and it’s a scarce skill – find training for it. SETAs usually provide funds to businesses and training organisations to develop these skills.

FPM Scarce Skills, Training and Job Security

Most learning and career development opportunities are based on what SETAs identify as scarce skills in different industries. If you select training for something regarded as a scarce skill, you increase your chances of securing a job. If you are a provider, offer training for these skill areas as they appear to have greater market relevance and you could more easily apply for funding to train the unemployed.
