Issues for discussion

• Integrated coordination and delivery ISRDP,
  EPWP, Project Consolidate and ASGISA.
• Integrate EPWP principles into all government
  programmes (re-branding)
• All IDT EPWP agreements to support provinces
  pertain to infrastructure. To what extent is this
  a reflection of the participation of other
  sectors in EPWP
• Discrepancies between demand and supply. What
  does this mean for the EPWP targets
• Policy gaps DoL funds life skills training SETA
  fund learnerships. Gap i.r.o technical training
  before assuming learnerships
