HWSETA Information

HWSETA is more than a skills development authority. We are a national entity dedicated to service, and we consider our work a part of the public trust. When we talk about skills development, it’s about changing people’s lives, enhancing their employability and aligning their skills to our economy. We have served the nation for 19 years, and in that time, we have continually changed and grown to provide the skills that our country needs to meet new challenges in the health and social development sectors, as well as the veterinary sector. We seek people with the same strong ethic of service, energy, and dedication to serving our country.
