Business Partners

Driving compliance and capability

Businesses support transformation by funding training, creating opportunities, and aligning skills development with workforce needs. Through partnerships, companies recover SDL contributions, earn B-BBEE points, and build stronger teams. Business partners prove that compliance spend can be turned into measurable value while empowering learners and strengthening the economy.
Compliance Value

Recovering contributions with impact

Business partners gain measurable returns when training aligns with compliance frameworks. SDL contributions can be recovered through mandatory and discretionary grants, while accredited programmes ensure B-BBEE Skills Development points are awarded. This means that investments in training are not only recognised but also provide direct financial benefit. Employers demonstrate compliance confidently, supported by clear reporting and verifiable outcomes. By funding accredited programmes, businesses turn statutory obligations into opportunities that reduce costs and support transformation goals. Compliance becomes a value-adding process, building stronger organisations while contributing to national skills development priorities.

Workforce Development

Building skills for growth

Partnerships with accredited providers allow businesses to upskill employees in line with national standards and industry requirements. Staff gain qualifications that improve performance, confidence, and career progression, while companies benefit from stronger talent pipelines and improved retention. By aligning training with workforce needs, businesses ensure that compliance spend creates capability where it matters most. This not only strengthens competitiveness but also supports long-term sustainability. Business partners highlight that accredited training is one of the most effective ways to align people development with organisational strategy, proving that workforce growth and compliance can go hand in hand.

Opportunity Creation

Extending reach to learners

By funding training, business partners create opportunities for learners who might otherwise be excluded from education. Programmes focused on unemployed youth, employees with disabilities, or scarce skills make a tangible difference in widening access. Companies benefit by meeting transformation targets while communities gain from the circulation of new skills. Each opportunity created builds resilience, reduces unemployment, and contributes to inclusive growth. Partnerships ensure that the impact of business investment extends beyond compliance points to real social outcomes, proving that transformation works best when education is linked to both access and opportunity.

Shared Impact

Strengthening business and society

The benefits of business partnerships extend across society. Employers recover compliance value and build stronger teams. Learners gain qualifications that support employment and entrepreneurship. Communities benefit from skills that strengthen local economies. By working with accredited providers, businesses contribute to a cycle where compliance, capability, and community resilience reinforce one another. This shared value proves that compliance spend is not wasted but invested in outcomes that benefit everyone. Business partners demonstrate that organisations can meet regulatory obligations while creating long-term impact, showing that compliance, when aligned with education, strengthens both business and society.
