Employment and Skills Development Services / Human Resources Development: Programme 3 was allocated a total amount of R406 million for the 2009/10 financial year. The programme has only spent about R390.6 million or 96 per cent at the end of the financial year. This level of under expenditure was due to the R16.3 million unspent funds, this due to the function shift of skills development from the Department of Labour to the newly established Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET). Furthermore these unspent funds are mainly related to the Quality Council for Trade and Occupation (QCTO). Since October 2009, all skills development competencies together with unspent funds have been transferred to the Department of Higher Education and Training for the establishment of the QCTO and once off filling of vacancies. Of note is that an amount of R74.2 million was shifted from this programme to other programmes during the adjustment period of 2009/10 financial year.
