Who we are

As a local government sector education and training authority, LGSETA creates and implements various innovative skills development interventions aimed at assisting local government employees, the unemployed and other people such as ward councillors and traditional leaders working within the structures of local government.

We focus our efforts on ensuring that the way in which learners are trained and educated fulfils the requirements of the local government sector.

LGSETA is one of 21 such SETA’s in the country. It falls under the executive authority structure of the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET).

At LGSETA, we work closely with our stakeholders to enhance training and education. They include the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (CoGTA), the South African Local Government Association (SALGA), the Independent Municipal and Allied Trade Union (IMATU) and the South African Municipal Workers Union (SAMWU).
