CATHSSETA Vacancies & Learnerships

About this SETA

CATHSSETA is the SETA for culture, arts, tourism, hospitality and sport — sectors that employ hundreds of thousands of South Africans and keep recruiting young talent. Like all SETAs, CATHSSETA mostly funds and accredits programmes hosted at employers: tourism and travel internships, hospitality learnerships at hotels and restaurant groups, conservation and heritage placements, and sport administration programmes. These suit candidates with matric and people-facing energy; many run in tourism hotspots across the Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga and Limpopo. Listings below cover CATHSSETA's own posts and the funded programmes it enables at host employers.
