. SETAs had a very important role to play in developing workplace pedagogy. Unfortunately there was no work placement policy in the country and the Department should consider development of such a policy. . Students in FET colleges should be guaranteed work placement once they complete theoretical part of the training just like the Swiss and German model. This would improve student numbers in FET colleges and reduce unemployment. . The weak relationship between FET colleges and industries contributed to the 11 000 FET college students who required work placement. There was need for aggressive work placement advocacy so that private sector would take note of the need to assist students. . The public sector should play a leading role in opening spaces for young people to obtain experiential learning. Outsourcing in the public sector should be minimized so that young people can be assisted.
