The CETA is an organisation that offers services aimed at improving the skill level of workers in the construction sector. These services are designed to align with the National Skills Development Strategy (NSDS III) and to ensure that individuals have access to the critical or scarce skills needed to make the construction sector sustainable and competitive on a global level. One of the ways in which CETA determines the skills needed by employers in the construction industry is through conducting research. CETA is responsible for identifying skill gaps in the construction industry and creating appropriate education and training programs to address these gaps. They achieve this by developing programs that align with the skills needed by the construction industry. Furthermore, CETA provides funding for various learning programs such as skills programs, apprenticeships, internships, and bursaries. These programs are offered by public education and training institutions such as universities and TVET colleges.
