CTFL Seta . The Committee was informed that CTFL was preparing a report on BEE firms and it would implement its recommendations once approved and at the moment there hasn't been any notable success in terms of SMMEs. . CTFL Seta acknowledged that Adult Basic Education and Training (ABET) and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) were challenges in this sector and the Seta has been engaging with other relevant stakeholders in addressing the issue. . CTFL Seta board members are not paid for sitting in board meetings. However, they are assisted with travel allowance. . The Committee was informed that the challenge in the CTFL sector is that most factories are located in urban provinces and hence most learnerships are within these provinces. . The Seta do not have large financial resources and leasing of buildings is financially viable than purchasing the building. . It was proposed that Further Education and Training (FET) colleges should offer a National Certificate Vocational (NCV) on clothing and textile to respond to the huge demand clothing in the country.
