UCT Institute of Development and Labour Law (IDLL)

South Africa’s labour market remains incapable of addressing the country’s high levels of unemployment and reducing inequality and poverty. Globalisation and the integration of South Africa into the economy of sub-Saharan Africa complicate endeavours to address these problems. It is within this context that the work of IDLL is located.

IDLL is situated within the Faculty of Law of the University of Cape Town. Its members teach all the labour law-related offerings in the Faculty, and are engaged in, and the promotion of, research that is relevant to the IDLL’s objectives. As well as doctrinal research in the area of labour, employment and social security law, this research concerns the interface between development, labour and employment law and social policy in South Africa and sub-Saharan Africa.

The Labour & Enterprise Policy Research Group (LEP) is an independently funded research group within the Institute that undertakes contract research, from a socio-legal perspective, on the above questions, and more specifically relating to the restructuring of employment, informalisation, inequality, the changing nature of the workplace, the future of collective bargaining, and decent work.

IDLL’s other activities include training and capacity building undertaken with various social partners, the co-convening of the popular Annual Labour Law Conference and the publication of a monograph and working papers series on matters emanating from its research endeavours.

CATHSSETA

Cathsseta, the Culture, Art, Tourism, Hospitality and Sport Education and Training Authority, is the Sector Education and Training Authority (SETA) established under the Skills Development Act (No 97 of 1998) [the Skills Act] for the Tourism, Hospitality and Sport Economic Sector.

A SETA’s main function is to contribute to the raising of skills – to bring skills to the employed, or those wanting to be employed, in their sector. They have to do this by ensuring that people learn skills that are needed by employers and communities. There is no value in training people if they cannot use the skills they have learnt. Training and skills development is not just for young people starting their first jobs though it is important for them too! The skills of people already in jobs must also be enhanced.

Training must be to agreed standards, within a national framework wherever possible. It is no good if someone is trained in one province if their qualifications are not recognised in another. It is not ideal for one employer to increase the skills of his or her staff if another employer does not recognise them. All training, wherever it is provided, should be subject to quality control and where appropriate be compared to the best international standards.
To achieve these objectives a SETA must

• Develop a sector skills plan
• Implement the sector skills plan
• Develop and administer learnerships
• Support the implementation of the National Qualifications Framework
• Undertake quality assurance
• Disburse levies collected from employers in their sector
• Report to the Minister and to the South African Qualifications Authority.
