Whilst the programme is not exclusively limited to individuals from previously disadvantaged communities, MISA strives for excellence in the context of service delivery and skills development and encourages historically disadvantaged individuals to apply. The programme targets unemployed graduates for Artisanship in line with the National Skills Development Strategy (NSDS III).
