Skills Development and the Workplace Skills Plan

Turn the annual skills development levy into a training investment that actually builds capability rather than a compliance formality. Delegates work through needs analysis, the workplace skills plan and annual training report cycle, learnership and internship design, and how to report training spend in a way that satisfies both auditors and operational managers.

Conduct a training needs analysis linked to business priorities.
Compile a workplace skills plan and annual training report.
Design a learnership or internship programme that builds a talent pipeline.

Training a whole team?

We can run Skills Development and the Workplace Skills Plan privately for your team, on your dates and built around your own systems. Group delivery is usually more cost effective from about six delegates.
