The mission of the Chemical Industries Education and Training Authority (CHIETA) is to contribute to sustainable development through facilitating the provision of skills for growth in the chemical industries sector. The Authority's strategic objectives are to: establish a credible institutional mechanism for skills planning; increase access to occupationally directed programmes; promote growth of a public Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) college system that is responsive to sector, local, regional and national skills needs and priorities; address the low level of language and numeracy skills to provide access to additional training; encourage better use of workplace-based skills development; encourage and support cooperatives, small enterprises, worker initiated Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and community training initiatives; increase public sector capacity for improved service delivery and support and build a developmental state; build career and vocational guidance; address the medium-term strategic priorities of the government; and continuously focus on defining and quality assurance of optimised business processes, knowledge management systems, and organisational architecture frameworks in support of the professional and confident discharge of its legislative mandate.

The mission of the Construction Education and Training Authority (CETA) is to create a solid skills base as a foundation for infrastructural development and economic empowerment. The CETA initiates skills projects and learnerships aimed at improving and developing South Africa's human resources, including a construction workforce whose skills are recognised and valued in terms of the National Qualifications Frameworks (NQF). The CETA is accredited as an Education and Training Quality Assurance (ETQA) body by the South African Qualification Authority (SAQA) on behalf of the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO). The ETQA status authorises the CETA to accredit and monitor both training and training providers. To facilitate the provision of training, the CETA uses discretionary money at its disposal to fund projects that aim to achieve its qualitative and quantitative obligations in terms of the National Skills Development Strategy (NSDS).
