The advocacy function includes responding to requests by the minister of higher education and training to draft legislation and policies for Community Education and Training Colleges (CET Colleges). It also entails skills development, participation in forums for public dialogue, and meetings with key stakeholders such as the Department of Higher Education and Training, Sector Education and Training Authorities and CET Colleges, among others.
