Creating Connections and Opportunities

Mission

The Southeastern Employment and Training Association (SETA) provides professional growth opportunities for all workforce development partners.

Overview

Since 1973, SETA has provided a forum for thousands of workforce professionals in the Southeast: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.

SETA is governed by a twenty-member board of directors representing all eight member states, along with private sector representatives from across the region.

  • Each member state provides representatives to serve on the SETA board.
  • Member states host our annual fall and spring conferences on a rotating basis.
  • Between conferences, member state representatives host webinar-based learning events.

Growth & Outreach

Outreach includes expanded marketing and branding, engaging thought-leaders from other regions, and providing a platform for non-southeast state members to engage and network at our conferences. While serving our members states remains our core focus and priority, SETA is actively expanding our reach throughout the country. We currently have many members from beyond the Southeast region, and we hope to continue to grow this segment of our membership.
