Careers in Agriculture: AGRISETA

If you’re a potential learner you should know the following:

  1. Training providers will compete for funding to deliver these programmes.
  2. Programmes may or may not be available in your province. If they are not, ask about relocation stipends for learners who need to move.
  3. Ask about being placed on an official database so that your name can be made available to the service providers who are awarded the contracts.

    Hi Stanley
    Unfortunately I don’t have the resources available to assist you fairly. I recommend approaching AGRISETA and all the other SETAs directly and request that they fund local interventions in the community.
