ATR stands for an Annual Training Report. It is explicitly required alongside the Workplace Skills Plan (WSP) when claiming Mandatory Grants through the Authority.

Mandatory Grants are funds designated under Regulation 4 to fund education and training programs based on Workplace Skills Plans (WSP) and Annual Training Reports (ATR). Discretionary Grants are allocated competitively to support education, training, and strategic skills development addressing the specific skills needs and operational shortages of the merSETA sector.

To apply for a Discretionary Grant, you must submit an application during an active open funding window. The application undergoes an evaluation process by a committee and scoring mechanisms aligned with the merSETA strategic plan.

A Workplace Skills Plan (WSP) is a document that outlines the skills development strategy for an organization. It identifies the training needs of the employees and details the planned training interventions for the upcoming year.
