Where It Started
Daniel Gibhard entered the business in 2012, offering a B2B solution to B-BBEE legal requirements. For two years, Daniel assisted his clients in interpreting and implementing the B-BBEE codes of good practise within their business, including outsourcing Skills Development and training to external providers. In 2014, Daniel was quick to realise that there was an immense need and gap in the market for reliable training providers, as his clients were being overcharged and essentially not receiving the agreed-upon services. This brought his focus to proactively develop a solution for businesses, which transformed into Skills Development Corporation, a specialized business addressing the Skills Development element of B-BBEE
Where We Are Today
Today, SDC strives to help businesses understand that leveraging their Skills Development portfolio, subject to adequate management and administration of its associated regulatory criteria, has many lucrative opportunities. For this reason, Skills Development Corporation has undertaken to granularly understand the legislative requirements and qualifying criteria related to B-BBEE compliance and the Skills Development Act for a business in the South African economic environment and how to reap the maximum potential benefits.
SDC now serves as a one-stop shop to address critical components, particularly within the Skills Development portfolio, that count toward your company’s B-BBEE level status. Our strategy is nimble and adaptable, and we prioritize maintaining relationships with our clients by providing strategic solutions that align with their Skills Development goals that can maximize your businesses’ investment in return.
As an accredited learning institution, SDC offers B-BBEE-aligned qualifications and is a comprehensive partner in managing your business’s Skills Development needs. With campuses in JHB and CT, we offer businesses a complete platform to establish and invest in B-BBEE-certified learnership agreements and skills programs for their workforce, the unemployed, or disabled youth. We also manage the selection and hosting of learners and handle all related legal administration, guaranteeing your business’s eligibility for tax allowances or grant incentive benefits.
