Chief Executive Officer
OVERVIEW
SKILLS DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLE
– The Skills Development Code defines the Sector’s financial commitment
towards skills development spend on black employees, agreed targets and
how skills development is calculated and measured.
TRAINING OF BLACK EMPLOYEES
– The Sector committed to spending at least 3% of the total leviable amount on
training black employees every year. This translates to R1.6b.
– The Sector also committed to spending another 0.3% on disabled black
employees. This translates to R162m.
SECTOR SKILLS DEVELOPMENT COMMITMENTS
LEARNERSHIPS FOR BLACK EMPLOYEES
– The sector committed to spending at least 5% of the total leviable
amount on training black employees participating in Learnership
programmes as a percentage of total employees in the Sector.
– This translates to R2.7b if, for example the total 5% compliance
target was achieved during the 2012/13 fiscal period.
– This is based on the MICT SETA’s total 1% Skills Development
Levy income for period 2012/13 which amounts to R539m
SECTOR SKILLS DEVELOPMENT COMMITMENTS
– Black employees are defined as Africans, Indians and Coloureds who are South African by birth or naturalised before 1996.
– R 539 733 000 is the sector income as per the 2012/13 MICT SETA Annual report
– R1.6b, R162m, R2.7b translate to R4.5b between April 2014-March 2015
SECTOR SKILLS DEVELOPMENT COMMITMENTS
– In terms of the BEE BILL, state owned entities must take into account and apply any relevant code of good practice in terms of the Amended Act in – determining criteria for awarding of incentives, grants and investments schemes in support of broad-based black economic empowerment.
