Sphola International empowers individuals and organisations to turn strategy to reality through effective leadership/personal coaching, and results based interventions. Skills development facilitation is the process whereby a Skills Development Facilitator (SDF) analyses, plans, implements and reports on the various training activities in an organisation.

Skills development in South Africa has become a strategic priority for businesses that wish to attain or retain an acceptable BEE level and also meet the requirements of the Skills Development Act.

Existing legislation requires all businesses with an annual payroll in excess of R500 000 (including director fees) to pay 1% of their payroll to SARS, which will then distribute the money to the appropriate SETA with which the business is registered.

The Skills Development Levy (SDL) serves to fund learning and skills development programmes for socially and economically marginalised groups in South Africa. If your company promotes learning and development in the workplace, you will reap the rewards in the form of a better skilled and more productive workforce.
