Stakeholders are informed that the Organising Framework for Occupations (OFO) mapping tool has been designed to make it simple and easy for employers to find their occupations on the OFO. The system also ensures that more accurate occupational data is provided to the SETAs to enable adequate and timeous supply of the skills in demand. The tool will also assist stakeholders when submitting the WSP/ATR by improving accuracy of the occupations and interventions . Feedback regarding the mapping tool can be emailed to Mxolisi Maphakela on mmaphakela@wrseta.org.za.
