Global partners boost training

THE TRANSPORT Education Training Authority (Teta) has a levy income of R130m to address the training needs in the Transport Sector, according to chief executive officer Dr Piet Bothma. “Teta comprises eight chambers, with each chamber consisting of stakeholder groupings and representing the industries’ sub sectors, all of which are entitled to a share of this total,” says Bothma. Funding for training is however not limited to this source. “We also have various projects running in conjunction with international partners. In one such project with the Netherlands, they not only bring expertise to the table but also financial commitment. The same applies to a project with Belgium, and we are also finalising projects involving Canada and USA.”
