Our Approach to Fact-Checking
SETA recognises that students, graduates and job seekers may rely on published information when deciding whether to apply for an opportunity.
We therefore aim to verify important information before publication.
Sources We May Check
Depending on the subject, our editorial team may check information against:
- Official organisation websites
- Government departments
- Universities and TVET colleges
- Company announcements
- Official application portals
- Programme documentation
- Publicly available documents
- Direct communications from organisations
- Other reputable sources
Information We Prioritise
Particular attention is given to:
- Application closing dates
- Eligibility requirements
- Qualifications
- Stipends
- Salaries
- Locations
- Application procedures
- Required documents
- Programme duration
- Contact information
Changing Information
Information may change after an article has been published.
For example, an organisation may extend a deadline, close applications early or change its requirements.
When reliable new information becomes available, SETA may update the article.
Reader Reports
Readers can report potentially inaccurate information to our editorial team.
We review reports and may update or correct an article when the information can be verified.
Limitations
Fact-checking is intended to improve accuracy but cannot guarantee that information will remain accurate indefinitely.
Readers should confirm important details with the organisation responsible for an opportunity before taking action.
