The short supply of skilled staff is a serious obstacle to the competitiveness of industry in South Africa.

The levy grant scheme, imposed by the Skills Development Act, 1998, and the Skills Development Levy Act, 1999, aims to expand the knowledge and competencies of the labour force. Improvements in employability and productivity will be achieved through new approaches to planning for training, learning programmes, incentives and an improved employment service.

Participating fully in the scheme will allow you to reap the benefits of a better skilled and more productive workforce.
