THE ICT SECTOR SKILLS

DEVELOPMENT COMMITMENTS

ICT SECTOR CODE, GAZETTE NO.

35423, 6 JUNE 2012.

THE ICT SECTOR CODE SKILLS DEVELOPMENT COMMITMENTS

– Introduction and Background

– Skills Development Scorecard

– Sector Skills Development Commitments

– Principles for Measuring Skills Development

– Status of the Codes

– Definition of ICT SECTOR

– Signatories to the Codes

– To claim contributions towards skills development a company must;

. comply with the Skills Development Act

. be registered with MICT SETA as an employer

. have developed a Workplace Skills Plan and implemented

programmes targeted at Priority Skills in the Sector.

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

– The purpose of this Gazette is to quantify the Rand value committed by the ICT Sector on the training of black employees.

– In 2012, Minister of Trade and Industry, Dr. Rob Davis Gazetted the ICT Sector Codes of Good Practice (ICT Sector Codes) in terms of section 9(1) of the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act (B-BBEE Act, Act no. 53 of 2003).

– This Gazette comes after a period of nine years (9) since the First Draft ICT Charter was released for public comment as part of the Sector’s commitments to B-BBEE.

– The ICT Sector Code is binding to all stakeholders operating in the Sector.

– Skills Development is one of the seven (7) elements of B-BBEE to promote skills development in the Sector.

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

Oupa Mopaki

Chief Executive Officer

OVERVIEW

162 000 x 5% =8 100 Black Employees

8 100 x R 35k = R 284m (284m/540m) x 1% = 0,53% of Leviable Amount

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

– Black employees are defined as Africans, Indians and Coloureds who are

South African by birth or naturalised before 1996.

SECTOR SKILLS DEVELOPMENT COMMITMENTS

– 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.

– The R1.6b and the R162m, between April 2014-March 2015, are based on

the MICT SETA’s total 1% Skills Development Levy income for period

2012/13 which amounts to R540m.

SECTOR SKILLS DEVELOPMENT COMMITMENTS

– The Sector committed to have the number black employees participating

in Learnerships or Category B, C and D Programmes as 5% of total

employees. This translates to 8 100 black employees based on the total of

162 000 employees in the MICT sector.

– In order to determine the percentage of Leviable Amount relating to the

training of 8 100 black employees, an average training cost of R 35k per

employee per year is envisaged. The total training cost of R 284m is

assumed to include the employees’ salaries and training providers’ fees

whilst they are undergoing training. The percentage of Leviable Amount

then translates to 0.53% of payroll.

– The total ring-fence should then be R 1.6b + R 162m + R 284m = R 2b

–

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.

– The BEE BILL was submitted to the President in November 2013 to sign into law.
