INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR THE ERADICATION OF POVERTY | 17 OCTOBER
SASSETA recognises that skills development is an important tool in addressing poverty, creating opportunities and building a more inclusive society.
Through learnerships, internship opportunities and bursaries for deserving learners from disadvantaged backgrounds, SASSETA continues to contribute towards empowering individuals with the knowledge, skills and opportunities they need to build better futures.
Working in collaboration with stakeholders across the Safety and Security sector, we remain committed to strengthening skills development, expanding access to learning opportunities and supporting pathways towards employment and economic participation.
Our commitment goes beyond being a Sector Education and Training Authority. It is about making a meaningful difference in people's lives, empowering communities and contributing to a future where more people have the opportunity to thrive, because eradicating poverty starts with creating opportunities that empower people to change their circumstances.
