SERVICES – SDC

Skills Development and the legislative requirements that make skills development work in favour of your business, whilst proactively doing something to help curb the dire youth unemployment crisis in South Africa, can be daunting…… If you don’t understand it.

The Skills Development Corporation (SDC) has undertaken to granularly understand the legislative requirements, and opportunities that a business in today’s South African economic environment can use to a) drastically improve their B-BBEE scorecard, b) teach and upskill existing workforces through accredited programs that are certified

under the 21 SETA (Sector Education and Training Authority) and c) proactively make a difference to the youth unemployment rate.

Since 2012, SDC has built solutions that cater to every business type and skills development need, from dedicated, accredited learnerships and short courses, through to work placements and skills development audits.

To speak to SDC about what service would best suit your business needs, contact us or browse our portfolio below and hover over each service offering for a more detailed explanation of how these services can best suit your business needs:



ACCREDITED LEARNERSHIP PROGRAMMES

If an individual displays shortfalls in their experience or skills and would like to address these obstacles, an Accredited Learnership Programme will allow them to take the necessary steps to furthering their career.



ACCREDITED SKILLS PROGRAMMES

Accredited Skills Programmes are particularly useful where budget constraints do not allow for full Learnership Programmes or where learners are unable to dedicate the time required to complete a Learnership Programme within standard timeframes.



ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT BENEFICIARY

Combined, Enterprise Development (ED) and Supplier Development (SD) form one of the three priority elements of the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) Scorecard.



LEARNER SOURCING AND PLACEMENT

Despite efforts and intervention from both government and the private sector, there remains educational and employment disparities that must be addressed in South Africa.



SKILLS AUDIT

Irrespective of the scale of an organisation, skills shortages and skills misplacement can be likened to holes in the hull of a ship. While your business may survive for a time, it is impossible to stay afloat while these issues go unaddressed.



WSP/ATR/ PIVOTAL PLAN

As a registered Skills Development Facilitator (SDF), the SDF professionally manages all your company’s SETA documentation, applications, and compliance. This includes applications for, Workplace Skills Plans (WSP), Annual Training Reports, and Pivotal Reports.



APPLICATION FOR SETA GRANTS

The intention of the legislation and regulations is that mandatory grants are used as an incentive for employers to plan and implement training for their employees and create training and work experience opportunities for unemployed people.



SKILLS DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS

Skills Development refers to a wide range of methodologies and policies that address many issues, both internally (business) and at a national scale.



HUMAN RESOURCE SOLUTIONS

HR headaches are commonplace in any business, particularly medium and largescale businesses. Without a comprehensive understanding of labour relations and staff management, even simple tasks such as onboarding can feel near impossible.
